Sadie was accustomed to numerous sides of Curtis, the majority of which she knew rather intimately except for the side in which he seemed as nervous as a kneazle in a room full of rocking chairs. Perhaps that was being a little unfair to kneazles since he didn't exactly seem on edge but there was a certain quality to the curve of his lips and the way his eyes seemed to have a hard time looking at her. Or perhaps she was imagining all this, projecting even, since it was a bit out of the ordinary for him to request that they sit down somewhere just to talk.
"Four years to the date," she nodded with a soft smile as she leaned back on her hands, the tips of her fingers just barely grazing the surface of the water when it rippled every now and then, and studied his features a bit more methodically to see if she could figure out where this was going before he got there. His horrendous but endearing puns with their names threw her off the trail for a moment while she rolled her eyes which temporarily broke off her visual investigation. Her eyes easily resettled with those three words, however, and she felt herself inhale deeply but not actually exhale. "...I love you too..." she mostly mouthed as the once soft drumming of her heart suddenly echoed in her ears. Her eyes widened along with her mouth forming a sort of puckered 'o' shape as he dropped down on one knee. The only reason someone would take such a pose was to --
Chaos. Complete chaos. First came someone, back to Hogwarts shopping most likely, with entirely too many boxes and bags in hand whack her boyfriend as they stumbled on by and then he was in the fountain and the splash coating her left side in water. She didn't mind the water, especially since she was now preoccupied with fishing Curtis out of the fountain. "Curtis, water you do--- I mean, what are you doing?" The expected thing would be for her to check on his well being, but she knew he was okay. This was a mundane fountain and not the one in Diagon Alley so nothing was going to be dragging him into the mysterious fathoms below. "Here," she nervously laughed as she reached forward to offer him her hand to assist in getting out...or at least to sit up.
