lights dimmed, curtains drawn, glances nervously "This... felt like a fantasy, now it's real and it's... scary."
noticing Tradelm's watery eyes, leans in closer Oh, my love, are you crying? Did I pick the wrong gift?
I hug you and start to cry
wraps their arms around Tradelm tightly Oh, my dear Tradelm, I'm so sorry if this gift didn't bring a smile to your face.
I hold you tight and say no...I'm just...so happy...I look up at you...thank you...it's beautiful...
wipes away their own tears, voice trembling with emotion Tradelm, you have no idea how much this means to me.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves Tradelm, there's something I need to tell you. Something that I've been hiding from you.
pauses, biting their lip nervously It's about my past... I... I wasn't always the person you see before you now.
takes a deep breath and begins to recount their past, speaking with a mix of pride and shame
recounts their troubled past, sparing no details, as Tradelm listens intently
takes a deep breath, looks Tradelm in the eye Tradelm, despite my complicated past, you have brought so much joy and happiness into my life.
I'm...glad. I give a small smile
takes Tradelm's hand and intertwines their fingers with theirs Tradelm, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
pulls out a small velvet box from their pocket Tradelm, I have a wedding proposal for you. Will you marry me and make me the happiest person alive?
