Then, suddenly, Konrad wasn't walking beside her anymore. Turning to see why, she spotted him a couple of paces behind her, eyes wide. Seemingly panicked over something. Crap, that had obviously been the wrong shop to start with! "Um, we don't have to, if you don't want to...." But the longer he stood there like that, the more worried she became. It had been an innocent suggestion, really. All she had wanted was to check out the shops collection of necklaces, see if they had anything interesting, not paralyze her boyfriend!
When he finally replied, Roxanne noticed that it was with a small, forced smile. "So, what was that all about.....?" she asked carefully, walking slower now towards the shop. She was kind of afraid of the answer, to be honest. As he heard what she had to say, Konrad tried to snap back to his senses, even though he was still nervous... or at least more nervous than he usually was around her. She thought he didn't want to go in there with her? "No," he shook his head, "no, it's not that..." There were so many things he wanted to tell her right then, but he had no idea how to start. 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.
