"I saw this tradition in Klean and I thought it was cute," Xavier answered, still on one knee.
"What tradition?" Mia asked in a curious tone, her brow raised.
"Well, the to-be groom asks the bride to marry him by getting on one knee and saying will you marry me? So, Mia Ainsworth, will you marry me?" he asked her.
She seemed interested to know how this ends. Yesterday he had gotten on his knee to give her the gold and green ribbons and she wanted to see how this would go. "Okay, and then what?"
"Then the to-be bride says yes," he guided her.
"So I say yes?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"That's my line," she protested with a pout.
"Then say it."
"Yes," she said, and he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger.
He rose to his feet and pulled her against himself before claiming her lips.
They pulled away, and he placed his head against hers, his eyes fluttering. "The kiss is a part of the tradition?"
"Yes," he said, beaming at her.
