CHAPTER XI: THE PROPOSAL
"Hontou, Aya-chan?" He was all smiles.
"You heard it right, Ryota." She couldn't believe it! Her heart was beating fast! All because they were alone!
"A month from now, you'll get my answer. Yes or no." -It's a yes, stupid1 Why can't you see that? Yes, yes,yes!-
"That simple? Just a word from you?" He was buying time. –Please, let it be a yes!-
She paused. "Let's make this better." She picked up her train of thoughts. –Jeez, his smile is so disarming!-
"If that day comes and I'm wearing earrings like your own," she gestured towards his lone earring, "then it's a yes. If not, it's a no."
He considered her proposal. –Better that than nothing.-
"Done, then."
They shook hands.
And from that day on, she hunted for the perfect earrings. She scrimped and saved every yen she could manage, knowing earrings cost a fortune. She didn't eat lunch. She didn't buy her favorite magazines. She avoided unexpected eat-outs.
All for Miyagi.
All for him!
