Violet clung to me for dear life, all sass leaving her.
"It's okay, I have you, I have magic that allows me to create an invisible world around myself. I can put you down and you can stand on your own."
Violet didn't speak, but she did give me a vigorous head shake, making me sigh. I couldn't blame her for that, I was scared shitless the first time I had come up here with Trem. I slowly sat down on a clear surface and lowered Violet into my lap; she had calmed down, but she still wouldn't look away from me.
"So, now that I have your full attention, I would like to ask you again, would you like to be my wife?"
"My mother already said yes, so, there is your answer!"
"Okay, but is that your answer? And if you try some bullshit answer, I will drop you."
Violet made a gulping noise and looked down into her lap.
"I...this is really fast and I know this is how it goes, but…"
"...You don't even know me."
"Yeah."
"BWAHAHA!"
