Chương 24 - The Proposal Nobody Expected
David proposed quietly.
No ballroom.
No photographers.
No orchestra.
Just the garden behind the estate.
Teresa was watering flowers.
David approached.
“Can I ask you something?”
She smiled.
“That's usually dangerous.”
He laughed.
Then he knelt.
Teresa froze.
“David.”
“I don't want to rescue you.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
“I don't want you to rescue me either.”
“I don't want to own your future.”
“I don't want you to.”
“I want to build one beside you.”
Teresa covered her mouth.
“Will you marry me?”
She cried.
Then laughed.
Then nodded.
“Yes.”
David stood.
She hugged him.
For a moment, neither spoke.
The estate that had once been the place where Teresa suffered had become the place where she chose her future.
