"Since then, how I feel for you hasn't shifted in the least! I have been muttering those words to myself every night in my sleep, even though I haven't had the opportunity to tell you." Sophia touched Xander's face once again and gently stroked it. "I adore you, Xander. Since that time, I have been completely and utterly in love with you." She continued, and he gave her another kiss that was both pleasantly warm and sugary sweet. She was aware that her response was identical to his. After that, he looked at her while they were separating their lips.
"Sophia, are you willing to marry me?" He questioned, rendering her once more unable to speak. "Since we both feel the same way, there is no point in waiting for another year." He continued while gently stroking her face. She remained silent the entire time as she meticulously dissected every aspect of every word he spoke.
"However, if you would like for us to ___." Then Xander had the idea to rephrase what he had said.
