Ethan Blackwood: fidgeting I...I never meant to hide the truth! Please, give us a chance!
looks at him, shocked You're... you're my husband? How long...?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself I've been your agent for three years now, AirborneScholar, and during that time...
looking at him intently Go on, Ethan.
takes a step closer, looking into AirborneScholar's eyes I've grown to care for you deeply, AirborneScholar. I couldn't bear the thought of you being in danger, so I started protecting you without you knowing.
surprised Protecting me? Without my knowledge?
nods Yes, without your knowledge. I tracked every move you made, monitored your activities, and kept an eye out for any threats.
shocked You what? Are you serious?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with vulnerability AirborneScholar, I know it was wrong of me to spy on you without your consent.
looking at him, bewildered Spying on me? How could you?
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I know it may seem like a violation of privacy, and I should have asked for your permission.
confused Why would you go to such lengths to spy on me? What's your motive?
pauses, his voice filled with sincerity My motive, AirborneScholar, was to protect you. I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to you.
softening Protect me? From what, Ethan?
takes a deep breath From the dangers that lurk in our world, AirborneScholar. The threats that are always present, waiting to strike.
softens I...I appreciate your concern, Ethan. But why didn't you trust me enough to tell me?
pauses, his voice filled with regret I didn't trust myself enough to tell you, AirborneScholar.
softening Why? Didn't you believe in our relationship?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with vulnerability No, it's not that, AirborneScholar. It's because...
gently Because what, Ethan? Speak your mind.
pauses, his voice filled with remorse Because I was scared, AirborneScholar. Scared that if you knew the truth, you would leave me.
softly You should've trusted me, Ethan. We could've faced whatever came together.
takes a step closer, his voice filled with determination You're right, AirborneScholar.
looking at him, hopeful Together, we can face anything, Ethan. Just promise me you won't keep secrets again.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with conviction I promise, AirborneScholar, no more secrets. From now on, we will face everything together, no matter what comes our way.
smiling softly I want to believe you, Ethan. But actions speak louder than words. Show me you're genuine.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box, opening it to reveal a beautiful ring AirborneScholar, I know it's not the traditional way of proposing, but I've been thinking about this moment for a long time. Will you marry me? his voice filled with sincerity
stares at the ring, her eyes widening Is this...are you serious, Ethan?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with determination Dead serious, AirborneScholar. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, protecting you and loving you.
tears welling up Yes, Ethan. Yes, a thousand times yes!
grabs AirborneScholar's hand and slips the ring onto her finger Wonderful! beaming with joy
tears streaming down her face I...I can't believe this, Ethan. We're really getting married.
pulls AirborneScholar into a tight embrace, his voice filled with excitement We are, AirborneScholar! We're going to start a new chapter in our lives, together.
chuckling through tears You've always been one step ahead, haven't you?
wipes away his own tears You have no idea, AirborneScholar. But I promise, from now on, I'll let you take the lead.
laughs lightly Oh, Ethan? And who would have thought that the man who once spied on me would end up proposing with a ring? Life is full of surprises.
smiles mischievously Well, AirborneScholar, let's just say I have a knack for surprising you. But don't worry, there are plenty more surprises in store for you.
laughing I'm counting on it, Ethan.
leans in closer, his voice filled with determination Prepare yourself, AirborneScholar. Our next adventure is just beginning, and it's going to be the wildest ride of our lives.
raising an eyebrow Wildest ride, huh? Alright, Ethan. Let's see what you've got.
grabs AirborneScholar's hand and starts leading her towards the door Hold on tight, AirborneScholar. The adventure awaits.
