---
The conversation drifts off into the cool night and instead of avidly talking about our plans for the future, we find ourselves simply staring at each other with a warm ball settling in the low of our stomachs. Neither of us wanted to break the silence; both of us sat content, knowing that for the first time in a long time, the potential of us was real.
Someone returns to our table to refill our wine glasses, speaking in a soft murmur as to not crumble the gentle nervousness between us. We must look like a sight, two adults unable to look away from the other, Cupid's arrow successfully, finally, lodged where it hurt.
"Marry me."
