Rowan- I just don't feel like I'm good enough for you

Peyton- You don't feel like your good enough for me Rowan don't say that your perfect and I'll tell you something the moment I met you that day at Ben and Nick's school was the moment I fell in love for the second time but yes after Veronica die I never thought I would find love again I thought it was going just only be me and my son the rest of my life yes I loved Veronica and yes I still love Veronica but if it wasn't for you walking into my life and my son's life I don't think I would ever find love again do I believe that Veronica sent you to me yes I believe that do I believe that we are meant to be yes I believe that do I believe that I love you yes I believe that I love you I love you so much I love you enough to do this (gets down on one knee) now I know that this might be a little too soon in our relationship but I have loved you since the day I met you like I said I never thought that I would find love again but I did and yes Veronica will always be with me so what I'm saying is are you going to be OK with Veronica still being with me? because I can't lose you so I guess what I'm trying to say is will you Rowan Blanchard marry me?
