My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

The people around laughed. Suddenly, a child appeared and surreptitiously set down one of the satin flower garlands that Ethan's parents had made themselves next to Hendrix. It was obvious that he was hinting at something.

Hendrix took the flower garland. Perhaps he felt that it was inappropriate, after a split second, he got up and left the room. The guests in the hall were all surprised by his sudden leave.

Fortunately, he came back a few minutes later with a large bouquet of roses in his hand. The fresh roses looked vibrant. It was quite a sight for a handsome man to be holding such a large bouquet.

He walked towards me, got down on one knee, and said affectionately, "Arianna, I'm not a smart man, but I want to give you everything I have. I will continue to love you in the way I know how, and learn how to love you more and more each day. I still have a long way to go in life, but I'm hoping that you will be there with me, every single step of the way."

I held back my laughter. It was a rare sight to see Hendrix, who was usually quiet and impassive, speaking so much all of a sudden. This was probably the longest I've ever seen him speak! "Arianna, why are you still in a daze? Hold out your hand and accept the ring!" Yana urged me impatiently. Before I could even react, Yana was behind me, raising my arm.
