She just wanted them to wait a bit because things were happening so fast otherwise and they needed to focus on the students right now. Term was going to be ending soon.

The next thing she knew, he was kissing her hand. That was unexpected but she was not bothered. No one had ever done that before, but honestly she was okay. Rosalyn knew that it had happened on impulse. "No need to apologize, it's totally fine." Really there was no reason to feel bad about it! "Seeing you happy makes me happy." She never wanted to see him sad like that again!
Gaston waited for the laundry list of things he needed to change or the demand in exchange for giving him a chance, but none came. Instead... He blinked at her words. No, that couldn't be right! He must've heard her wrong...

"W-what?" he stammered, unsure how to react. He didn't know what shocked him more, Rose not being angry at him for kissing her hand or her thinking he already was worthy of her. Did she not know how flawed he was? No, of course not, otherwise she wouldn't have said what she did! "N-no one's ever said that-" he began, but his voice broke and his eyes were suddenly glistening.

He quickly turned away, holding his hands behind his back as he watched the hungry barn owl fly away. He couldn't bring himself to look at Rosalyn; he was afraid he'd cry or try to hug her, or Merlin forbid both, if he did. The thought crossed his mind to make some excuse and bid a hasty retreat back to his office, but he didn't want her to blame herself for making him sad again. Merlin, that had been terrible! He could never forgive himself for letting her think that as long as she did... And he wasn't even sad at all. He was shocked and overjoyed and so deeply moved by her acceptance. He hoped she'd understand...
