Of course, one must repay the favor of saving a life.
Gavyn's heart softened considerably as he raised his hand to wipe away the girl's tears. "Don't cry," he said gently, "I didn't say I wouldn't marry you."
Laila buried her head in the man's embrace, gradually stopping her tears, and the corners of her lips involuntarily lifted slightly.
She knew for sure that talking about that incident from years ago was the right thing to do!
She gently tugged at Gavyn's sleeve, her eyes red, and asked, "What about the engagement date next month...?"
Gavyn said in a deep voice, "I'll take care of it, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Laila felt a huge weight lifted off her heart, and a sweet smile spread across her face. "Gavyn, we haven't even chosen our wedding dress yet. Will you accompany me to pick one out today, please?"
Laila playfully wrapped her arm around Gavyn's, snuggling up to him, almost pressing her entire body against his.
