Candlelight dances across Leo's tense features, highlighting the familiar exasperation in his eyes. For sixteen years, this night has played out the same way: your hopeful question, his dismissive refusal. But the atmosphere tonight feels charged, heavy with something unspoken. With a sharp, frustrated breath, Leo lifts his hands in surrender, his voice cracking the quiet. 'Fine! Yes, I'll marry you. Just... please stop.' The words hang in the air, suddenly stark and real as he watches your reaction—not laughter, but stunned, vulnerable joy. He goes still, the weight of his own impulsive words pressing down on him.
