He cares about me.
More than he should, and more than I deserve, but he cares about me.
So I can't technically say I'm surprised when he kneels down on one knee, looks me in the eye, and pops the question.
I don't know if I'm ready.
The past six months have been some of the best of my life- James had been such a huge part of them. I care for him, and I do love him, he knows that and I know that, but we're eighteen for Merlin's sake- I can't be married! It makes no sense!
I look at him with troubled eyes and he senses the emotions rolling through me.
He drops the velvet box in his palm onto the ground, careless despite our current situation. I still haven't vocalized an answer, but he holds me in his arms regardless. Comforting.
"I know you think it's too soon, Lily. I know you don't appreciate being tied down. But I won't tie you down. We'll fly together and reach higher heights than ever, Lily, and we'll love stronger than anybody else ever could."
I desperately wish I could believe him, but my thoughts are so muddled and messed up. I stare into his determined hazel eyes and give him my answer.
"I can't. Not yet. But I haven't said no, James, I haven't said no! Please, please, don't leave me." His expression is blank at first, but after I finish my sentence there's a glimmer of hope upon his face, however small.
"I just need time. To think. A little time, is all."
That was two weeks ago.
But I miss him more than ever, and I love him with all my heart, despite the distance that has been put between us during my emotional break.
I'm prepared, now, and I'll give him the answer he's been waiting for.

As always, review, please. It makes my heart swell with joy.
