You think I don't catch the signs but I do.

I see you looking at me across the room.

I see your smirk while you read that magazine I told you I'm not interested in.

I see your eyes sparkle as we have walk together and you spot an old married couple.

I see your enthusiasm when you meet a child on the sidewalk.

She told me things about you, Erica.

But I know what you truly want.

I know what you truly desire.

And right now is...

-That fucking ring is more expensive than my apartment.-Joe Goldberg groaned to the salesman.- That's insane.

-Look, I'm just saying, if you want your girl to say yes, this is the way to go.-The asian man with a fine suit continued to announce his project. -It is made of gold, and this diamond is imported, this is a fair price for its' value.

Joe glanced again at the wedding ring he showed him, there's no way he could afford that.

I know you deserve everything in this world, you deserve only the finest Erica, but it's not my fault you fell for a poor man as me.

I can't even afford a real proposal and I know my time is running out.

It's a matter of two months your visa will expire, you will have to go back to your country, and hell no. I'm not letting that happen.

Marriage is not only a way to make you stay with me in this country, but to also make you mine.

I know you want this, those wedding magazines, those subtle glances and signs you leave for me. God, you ecen asked me if you look good in white, Erica you know you look good in anything.

Just the thought of marrying you, of seeing you as my wife...it makes me breathless. It makes my head spin with so much enthusiasm.

I like it.

I like the idea of coming back home to you everyday, or waiting for you to come back, whatever dynamic we make, I'll love it.

You'd tell me about your day, I'd make dinner for us, and we'd make love all night long, whispering everlasting promises.

And we could even create a family...what a wonderful mother would be. Have a little daughter for us both , I'd pamper and spoil her with all my heart, I'd make you both so happy, we would be so happy.

My heart aches by just imagining it. And what make sme even more excited about this is that nothing seems too early for you, we must know each other for a matter of almost a year, date even less than months, but you want this just as much as me.

You're not like the others, not like their selfish souls who couldn't care less about the future or what I felt you.

We love each other, then why not?

That will be just another step into our love story my princess. I just need you to say yes.

And I know you will.

He walked daydreaming through the streets, the sun shined beautifully, and if has just been some weeks since Barbara Alves stepped into their lives and shaked their romance. But that didn't manage ro scare him off, Joe was determined to spend the rest of his days by Erica's side, and no one would change his mind.
