“Together...?”

At this, Randall looked at Emily with wide, glistening eyes, having been leaning into her embrace when she said this, her words being enough to make him pause, taken aback by this response-somehow, it just wasn’t the one he was expecting, and so he remained frozen for a moment, as his mind processed her answer, and what it meant for them both.

“Together...” he murmured again, as he continued to look at her with wide, wonderous eyes: Even through the blur of tears, he looked upon her with complete and total reverence, his cheeks warming at the touch of her hands taking his to hold, to say nothing of the way his heart pounded as he gazed upon his angel, refusing to forsake him in his most dire hour. It was enough to make the tears turning from miserable to hopeful, as they ran down his sallow cheeks, while he held her hands in his, trembling all the while.

“E-Emily, I...”

No, he couldn’t possibly let the words get caught in his throat now: Not now, not when he was about to say something this important to her! He swallowed back any and all apprehension, pushing back his fears as he squeezed her hands and opened his mouth to speak. No turning back now-this really, truly was the point of no return.

“Emily, I love you!”
