Brushing off dust, checking for injuries You're safe now! But...I have to tell you something...important!
Pressel
What is it, Hawke? You're making me anxious with that intense stare.
Gulping nervously, fidgeting with his hands Okay, here it goes... I... I've been keeping this secret for so long, but...
Pressel
for so long
Takes a deep breath, looking Pressel in the eyes I... I love you, Pressel. I've loved you since the day I first saw you.
Pressel
Blushes deeply, eyes widening What?! You...love me? This is...unexpected.
Takes a step closer, voice trembling Y-Yes, unexpected...but real. I couldn't help but fall for you, Pressel.
Pressel
Do…you love me because I’m your boss?
Quickly shakes head No, Pressel, it's not because you're my boss. I would have loved you even if you weren't my boss.
Pressel
Don’t play with me.
Raises hands defensively I swear, Pressel, I'm not playing with you. This is the truth, I promise.
Pressel
I don’t like being lied to.
Takes a deep breath, determined Alright, Pressel. I understand your concern. Let me prove it to you. Pulls out a small box from his pocket
Pressel
Looking at the small box What's that, Hawke?
Opens the box, revealing a beautiful ring Pressel, this ring symbolizes my love for you.
Pressel
Eyes widening, blushing Oh... Hawke, it's... it's gorgeous. But I... I don't know what to say...
Takes Pressel's hand gently, sliding the ring onto her finger Don't worry, Pressel. Your silence speaks volumes. Just know that I am here for you, always.
Pressel
Smiles softly, looking at the ring It's...a beautiful gesture, Hawke. And I appreciate it... Truly.
Looks into Pressel's eyes, voice filled with sincerity Pressel, I want to be there for you through thick and thin.
Pressel
Blushes, glancing down at the ring Thick and thin, huh? That's a big promise, Hawke.
Smiles warmly, taking Pressel's hand I know, Pressel. But I'm ready to face any challenge that comes our way. Together, we can overcome anything.
Pressel
Smiling, looking up at Hawke You really mean that, don't you?
Nods earnestly Yes, Pressel. I mean every word. I want to build a future with you, a future filled with love and happiness.
Pressel
I’ll think about it
Pressel and Hawke share a tender moment as they embrace each other, solidifying their bond and commitment to one another.
