Maybe he should start by remembering her how much he loves her? "Come here." Before answering her question, he took her hand into his and walked over to the edge of the bridge, just... to be out of the way. It was bad enough that he was going to do it without dinner and flowers and all, so they might as well not stand in the middle of the street.

He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came at first; all he did was lightly pat his coat where he knew the small box would be, but just to make sure it was there. Even out there on the bridge, all he could hear was the heart beating impatiently, threatening to jump out, unless he did something, so he held both her hands into his, squeezing them lightly, careful not to hurt her. "I... I know this is the wrong way to do it, and I'm sorry about that." Pffft. Quite the Prince Charming, he was. "But," with that, he let go of her hands and stood on one knee, only praying that she wouldn't freak out; ANY woman knew what happened when a man stood on his knee. He'd even ignore the stares they would soon get, as long as things went well.

"I love you, I hope you know that." And just in case she still didn't know, he'd tell her lots and lots of times. "Which is why I'd be the happiest man alive," not that he wasn't already, "if you'd want to marry me." Thankfully, the box was where it was supposed to be when he took it out to reveal the ring. Soooo... "Will you? Marry me?" It was only when he waited for the answer that he realized that she might say no, which would probably ruin their holiday, the one that barely even started.

He shouldn't have said it, he shouldn't have said it, he shouldn't have said it... UGH. It was the most horrible part of all of that. The waiting-for-an-answer part. Well, waiting for a 'yes', preferrably.

As Roxanne followed Konrad to the side of the bridge, she began to get really worried. What was going on? Had she really said the completely wrong thing? Was he about to break up with her? Because that would be a horrible thing to do....

Oh. As she watched him kneel right there and then, she started to cry. Happy tears, of course. Because, yes, she knew what that meant. And when the words came, she was crying too hard to answer, at least at first. Instead, she waved her hands in front of her eyes, trying to stop crying enough to say what she wanted. Ugh, why couldn't she stop crying! "Yes!" she finally managed to croak out, kneeling down in front of Konrad and throwing her arms around him. "I would love to marry you!"
