In My Desperate Time

"Why... me?"

It takes Steven a while to ask.

I know for sure that he's not willing to do this.

But I also know that as long as I ask, he will not refuse.

He has always been like this. He's used to agreeing to my request unconditionally.

So, I owe him too much.

That is why I want him to be happy.

"You are my good friend. I want you to witness such an important moment of my life. You were by my side through the hardest and darkest times. And now, I have found my love."

At this point, I look up at Frances affectionately.

These words are meant for both Steven and Frances.

I have never expressed my feelings to Frances so seriously, and it seems it's not too late to say them now.

Frances returns me the same emotional gaze as he smiles gently at me.

I nod and continue to say to Steven, "Perhaps, without those misunderstandings, we wouldn't have been together." And at this moment, I am very glad that this man with me now is my Mr. Right for a lifetime. You have witnessed not only my helpless and sad past, but also my radiant days in relationship. So, there's no one better suited to be the witness than you. Of course, if you don't want to, I can only ask someone else."

As I say that, I add a bit acting, pulling my face.

"I'll do it. Now that you have chosen him, let me entrust you to him myself."
