"Silly girl," Leo Joyce said, hugging her tightly. "Let's not fight anymore."
"Mmm-hmm..." Tiana nodded, tears streaming down her face.
"And don't ever talk about breaking up with me again."
"Mmm-hmm..."
Leo Joyce's expression grew complex. After a moment, he added, "Let's get engaged right away. We'll get married after you graduate."
"Mmm-hmm..." Tiana Grayson agreed without a second thought, just nodding along. Only after she'd responded did she process what Leo had actually said. She looked up from his embrace, stunned.
Seeing her dazed and adorable look, Leo Joyce leaned down and pecked her on the cheek. "Tiana, you already agreed. No take-backs. First thing tomorrow, I'll have my parents go to your family to formally propose. We're getting engaged right away."
"Leo, you really want to marry me...?" Her voice trembled, tinged with anxiety.
'She really couldn't believe Leo actually wanted to...'
