tune

He continued to listen, trying to remember if he knew that song.

She stopped singing leaning into him as they walked

He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she leaned into him. ”That was a lovey song and you have a beautiful singing voice.”

She shook her head

He gently cupped her chin with his finger to make her look at him. ”Why do you always do that when I give you a compliment?”

She looked at him with her innocent blue eyes which seemed to sparkle in the moonlight

Lysander smiled at her. ”You are beautiful.” he almost whispered before placing a soft kiss against her lips.

Betty gently kissed him back.

He smiled sweetly as he pulled back. ”We should keep going or it’ll be sunrise before I get to meet your family.” he joked lightly.

"always killing the mood" she teased starting to let go of his hand as she walked away

”Once we get all this straightened out and we get married, then it’ll all be worth it.” he promised as he kept her hand in his.

" doubt it" she sang

He raised a brow at her. ”I’m serious. I’ll make it up to you. I just… just want to do this right by you.” he sighed.

She sighed" what if it's not what if you wake up one day and you realize you made a mistake you were in other marriages you were in love what if you move on from me like you did me" she said.

He gently cupped her face. ”It won't be a mistake. I said I had received other offers to get married. I always turned them down.” he told her truthfully. ”I’ll admit I have been in love only one other time and that was before I became what I am. After I turned I could never face her again because I… changed so much.”

"see? Maybe… maybe you don't love me at all" she said

”I do. I love you so much.” he insisted gently. ”I have never wanted to be with someone as much as I want to be with you.”

She closed her eyes " if you saw that girl right now-?"

”I would still choose you. She wouldn't want me.” he said, closing his eyes. ”Things were very different back then… I was very different. She wouldn't want to be with someone like me as I am now.”

She closed her eyes her breath getting caught in her throat as tears rolled down her cheeks

”I love you, Betty. No one else. I want to be with you… As long as you’ll have me.” he sighed, gently brushing away her tears. ”I’m sorry if I hurt you by telling you this.”

Betty sighed keeping her eyes closed placing her hand on top of his

Lysander stilled at her touch but the worry that he had upset her continued to weight on his heart. ”Please say something…”

"What do you want me to say?" she asked.

”I… I don't know.” he said. That you believe me… That I didn't screw this up… That you still love me…
