"Is everything really okay?" I asked Colin with bright eyes.

He looked at me dotingly with a smile. "Everything is okay as long as it's what you want. But I have a small condition. I wonder if you'll agree to it."

"What is it?"

"I hope you can fill up your notebook with little red flowers. I've been waiting anxiously for that to happen. Please have mercy on your future husband, darling. Don't make me worry about that every day, okay?" Why was he discussing this trivial matter with such a serious attitude and tone? It wasn't quite appropriate.

I awkwardly gripped the hem of my clothes, not daring to lift my head to meet his gaze.

Colin, however, changed from his elegant self to become like a big golden retriever. He nuzzled and coaxed me. "Come on, darling. Please say yes. I can't wait to become your husband. Pretty please." That was filled up long ago, silly.

I raised my head to look into his pleading and hopeful eyes. Then, I saw myself nodding shyly in his bright eyes that were sparkling like the stars.
