Amelia sat in the cozy living room of Dawson's mansion, her arms crossed as she stared at the floor. She didn't want to be here, but she couldn't leave now. Dawson walked in, holding two mugs of coffee.
"Here," he said, placing one on the small table in front of her.
She didn't thank him, just glanced at the mug before looking away. He sat across from her, watching her with an intensity that made her feel uneasy.
"Amelia," he started, breaking the silence. "I need to talk to you about something important."
She didn't reply, waiting for him to continue.
"I want to propose again," he said, his voice steady. "I really want you to marry me."
Her head snapped up, her eyes narrowing at him. "Are you serious?"
"Yes," he said, leaning forward. "Even if it's just for business purposes, I'll take very good care of you. You won't have to worry about anything."
