Proposal

She stands there, holding the betrothal necklace. It is very much like her mother's, except for that it is a deep crimson rather than blue. She runs her thumb over the polished stone thoughtfully.
He stands there, face inscrutable, his golden hawk eyes fixated on her with a deep, focused intensity as he awaits her answer.
"Will you?" He asks, and he fights to keep the nervousness out of his voice. He can feel his heart hammering in his chest.
She looks up, startled from her reverie, blue eyes locking onto his.
She closes the distance between them, and places the necklace back into his hand, and gently closes his fingers around it. Momentarily, he panics that this is a sign of rejection, until he watches as she unclasps her necklace from around her slender neck.
She turns her back on him, pushing her rich auburn hair aside.
For a second, this puzzles him until understanding dawns on him, and he clasps the red pendant around her neck. His fingers brush her sensitive nape, and she suppresses a slight shudder at his touch.
She turns back to face him, and she drapes her arms around his neck as his strong arms encircle her waist and they share a deep, tender kiss as her fingers entwine into his silky black hair.
Breaking from his lips, she whispers against his mouth. "Yes."
He smiles broadly, elated. He picks her up and spins her around, their joyous laughter echoing throughout the palace garden.
