"Do you know that I still want to marry you?"

Mara's breathing hitched. She stilled on her seat and suddenly felt uncomfortable around Shane. Her stomach is swirling and she could feel her ears burning as she process what Shane had told her.

She moved away and then looked at Shane. His eyes was shinning and reflecting the bright cresent moon.
