"For an instant she stared up at him, her heart pounding so loudly that she could hardly hear her own gasped, 'Marry you--' 'Yes, is it such a daunting idea? then his hands were on her shoulders and his voice deepened. 'My dearest, I don't know whether what you have done to me is magic, but you can make it so. I love you, It's as simple as that..."
