Two Things

Mary's heart seemed to have exploded. 

The gloominess and second thoughts of the past few days were all swept away at this moment. 

Mary cried out, "I thought you were afraid because of my injury!" 

Monroe hugged Mary tightly, wishing he could rub her into his blood. "You wish! In this life, you will never escape from my hands!" 

Mary felt a sweetness in her heart when she heard such an overbearing declaration. 

She touched Monroe's left hand with her right and interlocked their fingers. "Promise me, Monroe Hall! In this life, as long as we're together every day, you won't betray me!" 

Monroe lowered his eyes and hugged Mary even tighter. 

His deep voice was very suitable for making a vow. "I promise to never betray you." 

Mary smiled lightly. "I'm very happy... but before we officially fall in love, there are two things that you have to promise me!" 

Monroe asked, "What do you think?"
