“Do you know what it means if you decide to marry me?” Hayden asked solemnly.
Suddenly, the relaxing atmosphere around us turned tense and I could tell that Hayden was fully awake and extremely serious right now. What it means…
“Are you worried that I wouldn’t fully understand the consequences if I decide to marry you?” I asked to better understand him.
It wouldn’t surprise me if that was what he thought. After all, he’d been warning me on several occasions about all the issues that may arise if I decided to marry him.
“Of course, I worry. I worry for you and for us,” Hayden replied as his fingers took a strand of my loose hair and tucked it neatly behind my ear.
It was so like him not to worry for himself.
