#Chapter131
My voice catches in my lungs and I can’t formulate a reply, I just stare at him in open-mouthed silence, inner tingles waving over me like hot sauce. Jake’s never mentioned marriage before, I know he loves me, but part of me still finds it hard to believe he loves me as much as this.
/"You want to marry me one day, right?/" He halts and suddenly sounds so young and unsure, my silence making him think I’m freaking out in a bad way. I guess a small part of me is, but mostly I’m shocked into silence. He moves closer, panic in his face, the doubt that he’s said something he shouldn’t have. I reach out for him and he follows, wrapping himself within my arms.
/"I just didn’t think you would want that with me,/" I mumble, the tears stinging my eyes for a different reason and I sniff.
/"Why wouldn’t I? You know how I feel about you … I’ve told you enough times./" His face comes to mine, his hand clasps my chin and tugs my eyes up to meet his.
