Dorothy was caught off guard, standing there slack-jawed for a good three to five seconds before she could muster a response.

"Mr. Lopez, you're not proposing to me, are you?" she blurted out, clearly taken aback.

She wasn't prepared for this. Not in the slightest.

"Proposing? Oh, it's not as simple as all that... let's just say I'm gauging your interest," Everett said, lifting an eyebrow, "Tell me, do you fancy a winter wedding or a summer one?" "You want the truth?"

With a chuckle, Dorothy said, "Honestly... it feels like we've already had our wedding. I wore the dress and everything. Maybe we should just find some time to swing by the city hall and make it official." She had toyed with the idea of another ceremony. Every girl dreams of her big day, after all.
