He wiped all of her tears aside. "Raven, I love you. I'd do anything for you."

Raven looked into Connor's eyes and managed a small smile.

"Please smile. Cause if you don't smile, I'll have to make you." A glitter of something passed through his eyes.

Raven's smile didn't get any bigger, but it didn't die either. She broke eye contact and looked down.

"Raven…?" Conner asked worriedly. He'd only been trying to get her to smile. "What's wrong?"

She looked back at Connor. "No one's really ever cared for me since by mother died."

"Well guess what?" he replied genuinely, cupping her face with his hand. "You've got someone now. Spill. Tell me anything you want."

Raven had no choice but to look at him. She was silent for a few moments. "I… I want to marry you."

In all honesty, he hadn't been expecting that at all. But he wasted no time replying with "Name the date" and kissing her softly.

"Anytime. At the court house," Raven replied, leaning into her now fiance.

He kissed her happily. "I love you so much, Raven… I promise I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe."

"I love you too," Raven replied. "It's been so long since someone said that and meant it."

"Well write it down for the history books," he joked. "I mean it more than anything in my life."

"As do I," Raven replied. "It's a good feeling. To have someone to love you."

"I concur," he replied, giving her a sly smile.

"Especially when the person supposed to give you love after your mother never gave it."

He pressed his lips together and looked at her. "Raven…"

"What else do you want me to say? That I had a loving father my whole childhood and wish he hadn't died? Because that's a lie."

"No. I'm asking you to, for one minute, forget everything. Please."

"I can't do that, Connor," Raven replied. "I just can't."

"Sure you can," he pleaded. "Just one minute, babe…"

"No, I can't. Because if I forget my past, I forget myself. Everything that has happened to me has made me who I am."

"Alright, touché. If we get married, I don't know how I'm ever going to argue with you. You're too smart." He kissed the tip of her nose.

"I'm not that smart," Raven replied. "I'm just self-aware."

"Smart," he replied.
