Just like Violet, King is just as blown away as she is. Standing in front of him was a woman that made him lost his words to describe what he is seeing. Earlier when he planned everything out, he knew it would look beautiful on her. But he was shocked to see that seeing it for real, in front of him, smashed what he imagined in his head. She was even more breathtakingly beautiful. With the sun light as her backdrop, the lull of the sea and cackle of the birds outside, made this picturesque view heavenly. Like a goddess gracing down on earth. King whispered in daze, "Stunning", which made Violet blushed alot.
Mustering the best smile he could, King looked into her eyes, tilted his head and asked, "Permission for time-out?"
Voilet was madly blushing and answered in demure.
"Granted" she then tried to hide her blush.
"Usually this should be the part where I ask 'Will you be my girlfriend?' but as you can see we sort of skipped a skyscraper worth of levels so let me rephrase that" said King as he droned on.
Taking a deep breathe, King courageously asked, "My wife, will you allow me to court you?"
Silence.
The whole place was in silence. After it continued for a long while, King started to feel devastated. To test the water, he called out her name.
"V?" asked King. She was still just standing there staring at him. King clumsily stood up and approached her carefully. When he was an arm away from her, he noticed something. He was a little bit scared but he steeled himself to do it.
"V?" King reached out his hand to her face. There was still no reaction so he shook his hand in front of her. Still, no reaction.
'Eh? Should I?' were King's thoughts. Then he reached out his arms to her shoulders and shook her gently.
Violet was awakened from her reverie. And dumbly asked, "Huh?"
King was suddenly overcome with relief and laughter. Relieved that it wasn't what he was thinking. He laughed because of her cute dazed reaction. He controlled it down, cupped her face with one hand while the other still holding the bouquet and he asked "Can I court you V?"
"Ye-yes" said Violet as she was finally sober. She took the bouquet King handed her. She smelled it and was suddenly hugged by him.
"Thank you V! Hehehe" exclaimed King while he smiled and didn't mind the burst of happiness coming from his heart causing him to giggle like an idiot.
"Thank you K. I love your gift. It was perfect" bashfully said Violet as she hid her face on his chest, hugged him back and carefully protected the bouquet to not get crushed.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Turn your back towards me V and stay still for a bit" King hastily extricated himself from her and took out the small red box as Violet turned her back.
King took it out, he brushed away her hair on one side and carefully placed it on her neck. He then continued to lock it from behind. Violet felt something cold touch her skin and his breath grazing over her neck. Sending shivers to her body.
