Since she had mentioned marriage, Sidney was determined to ask again.

If she refused, he wouldn't press further.

Maria quietly observed him, then asked, "Sidney, are you really sure? I'm pretty unpredictable. One day, I might just get bored of you, and then we'll have to get divorced."

His eyes were full of sincerity as he responded, "I've thought it through. I want to marry you. I'll do everything I can to make our marriage work and never let you feel tired of me. I want us to go the distance together." There was no denying the stir in her heart, especially when he was looking at her like that-like she was his entire world.

Sidney's hand found the back of her neck, deepening the kiss. When they finally pulled away, both of their breaths were a little uneven.

"Okay," she replied without hesitation this time.
