Only then could I finally think seriously about Aquila’s proposal.

He had asked me to marry him. Because, according to him, it would be strange for us to marry anyone else.@@novelbin@@

No matter how I thought about it, that was definitely strange. How could we possibly marry someone else, not each other? Just as Aquila had said, it made perfect sense for us to get married….

“Aquila, about what you said earlier.”

“Yes, Salvia?”

Aquila sat down in front of me and, naturally, took my hand in his. Now that I was actually paying attention, the warmth in his gaze was unmistakable—it was blatant affection. That realization made my face heat up, and I quickly lowered my eyes, fumbling with my words.

“…I think you were right.”

“Of course.”

“It would be kind of weird if it wasn’t you….”

“You made the right choice.”

“…What do you even like about me?”

“You’re lovable.”

His warm hand reached for my head, softly stroking my hair before resting at my lower back.

“You’re always lovable. When you’re brave, when you’re angry, even when you’re struggling. All of you is lovable.”

“How much?”

“More than everything in this world combined.”

I slowly lifted my gaze. The moment our eyes met, I realized Aquila’s face was even closer than before.
