Agree with Queenie! Love how you showed that decision to propose as a panic indecision brought on by stress and insecurity.
Loving so much about this.
for the sound of her heartbeat to filter back into my senses and weave its way back into the ambient rhythm of my being.
Her expression is one of surprise, but good surprise, I’m sure. She’s searching my eyes again, not exactly hesitating, but contemplative. Or like she’s letting the moment settle over us along with the pouring rain.
Love this phrasing. I can feel it settle in my own heart.
