She didn't say anything. Silence means consent.
I walked behind her, looking at her pure white neck and delicate collarbone. From my angle, I could even see the deep groove, which made me feel a surge of heat.
As I helped her in putting on the necklace, my fingers accidentally brushed against her delicate skin, causing my heart to race. Once the necklace was in place, instead of stepping away, I leaned in close to her ear and softly whispered, "You look stunning today, like you've just walked out of a fairy tale! Thank you for coming tonight. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Her body stiffened slightly, her breathing quickened for a moment, and, most interestingly, her ears turned red. She was nervous.
"William, I..."
"Trust me, I will treat you well; I won't let you down."
I held her crystal-clear earlobe. She hummed softly, leaning weakly against the chair. "William, don't, don't..."
