Propose Quote by Dark Calling
““When this is over, let’s just do it.” “Do what?” Lila gazes up at him. Adjusts his thick black frames as they slip down his nose. “Get married.” She smiles. “Married, huh. Are you proposing?” “Not officially. After, when this job is done, I am going to go buy you the biggest ring I can afford—which won’t be very big at all, but I will buy it with love. Then I will get down on one knee and that’s when I will propose.” “I might say yes.” “God willing.””
