I don't want to regret

Paige was speechless. What a promise to make at such a young age. She could've never imagined it.

She looked at her hand in his. Would she really pull through with it? Well, there were already talks about her marriage and she was sure her grandfather would just bring up some guy from nowhere for her to get married to but…

She looked at Maxwell, were those enough reasons for her to marry him?

"I'm sorry to have tied you down by a promise like that." She said and lowered her head. "And yeah, your words are very reasonable but is that what 'you' want?" She asked him.

"Would I go so far if it wasn't?" He asked her. "I've always wanted to be the man standing next to you."

"But what if I don't want to get married to you?" Paige asked him.

"What?"

"What if, to me, that promise was made on a childish whim and I didn't mean any of it? What if I don't want you to fulfill your promise?"
