The Fear Of The Proposal

Selma Payne's POV:

Avril retired in January this year, which was three months ago.

Mara was about to strangle Avril with her gaze. "For three months, you didn't even say a word to me about your proposal? I feel so sad!"

"I didn't hide it from you on purpose," Avril quickly explained. "It's just that I was very confused back then, so I didn't agree immediately. I've been in a dilemma for the past few months, so I didn't tell anyone. I finally agreed to Perrin's request last night."

I knew that Avril and Perrin had started dating before I went to the Rocky Mountains, but I knew nothing about what they had been through in the past three years, so I asked, "What's there to be conflicted about?"
