They hugged. He took her firmly in his arms and hugged the life out of her. He swayed her like if they were dancing in complete silence. He looked into her eyes and gently kissed her on her cheek and whispered in her ears a sweet nothing that sounded like: "I wanna marry you".

He pulled away to gaze into her eyes.
Her hands went clammy instantly.
She felt the little wave of nausea climb up her esophagus.

Nausea in a bad way.

Complete panic paved it's way.

He waited for a response.

"Did you hear what I said?"

She fakes it..."No"

"I said I really love you"

The nausea crawls its way back down.

*le sigh

"Oh...that....me too"
