Biting her lip, Ellie watched him look down and followed his gaze to her hands. And then she looked back up. She thought about saying something to break the long silence, but she didn't know what.

Just as the thought began forming, Dallin spoke up finally. And Ellie smiled again. "I love you too," she replied. But as soon as she spoke, he was speaking again. Alright then.

Ellie bit her lip again and listened to Dallin as he talked about their relationship two years ago. Their relationship two years ago was nothing compared to what it is now. It kind of sounded like he was in love at first sight of her. Which Ellie didn't really believe, but they way he put it was so believable. Dallin had a way with words. He could make anyone fall in love with him. Ellie was just lucky he decided to fall for her too.

All his talk about how much he loved her was making her blush. Ellie looked away for a few seconds before looking back at him. Where was all this coming from? They had talked about all this stuff before, but he was giving this speech suddenly.

Oh. Kiss. Ellie grinned and kissed him back until he pulled away again... And kept going on with his speech.

Speech... This was a speech. Wasn't it? Like, a practiced one? Had he practiced this? For... something special? Like... Merlin'sbeard. Was he going to...? PROPOSE?

No. Nooo, no, no. Ellie's heart was beating wildly, but she had to try and calm herself down. Of course he wasn't proposing. Why would he do that? Sure, he loved her, but... But what? Merlin, she didn't know. But what if he wasn't proposing? Ellie didn't want to disappoint herself by getting all worked up just to find out he was just randomly confessing his undying love for her...

Ellie realized Dallin wasn't talking anymore. Oh, crap. What had he just said? She was too busy flailing mentally. He said... I love you. A lot. And he... He wanted to know... that she would always love him too.

"Ilov-" Ellie began with a squeak. Caaaalm dooown... Ellie cleared her throat. "I love you too, Dallin... Morethananything. I always will..."

Now, please. Either get down on one knee and make Ellie happier than anyone alive, or stop talking like this and crush her hopes and dreams make her stop hyperventilating.


That space in between Dallin asking Ellie to say she loved him and her actually saying it had Dallin worried. Did Ellie actually need to think about it?

Oh. Okay. She loved him and always would. He knew that, he just needed... reassurance. So now he was going to... finish this. Suddenly, his heart started beating frantically and he couldn't catch his breath. He looked away from Ellie's eyes again, to her hands, and dropped one of them. As he did so, he lowered himself so that he was kneeling on one knee, looking up at Ellie. "Always," he replied, smiling faintly as he slipped his free hand into his pocket. He grabbed the ring in his hand and held it tightly, resting his hand on his knee. His heart was beating almost painfully hard against his chest, and he couldn't swallow without feeling like he was going to choke. All of his confidence had been replaced with nerves, but he wouldn't chicken out now. He couldn't.

"We've talked about this for a while now, and I've wanted to wait until now. I wanted to make the moment special." Pausing, he looked down at his hand; it was still in a fist, the ring hidden from view. Taking a deep, shaky breath, Dallin met Ellie's eyes again. "I don't want to wait anymore. Ellie..." Slowly, Dallin opened his fist. Holding the ring between his index finger and thumb, he held it up for Ellie to see. "Please tell me that you'll make me the happiest man on Earth... and be my wife."
