Charlotte Green looked at him through her veil, her eyes brimming with tears, and she nodded, "I thought it was someone else's wedding, but I never expected it to be my own. I'm so surprised and so happy. But, you kept it such a secret, and it was so hard for me."
"It was indeed hard to keep it a secret. Heaven knows how much I wanted to tell you every time I saw you start to speak but then stop, staring blankly at the wedding scenes on the TV and web pages. You're like this because you really hoped for a wedding and wanted me to ask you to marry me, but you said nothing, just because you believed in me and knew that one day I would propose, not wanting to pressure me."
Charlotte Green tried to hold back her tears, otherwise the makeup that she had finally gotten right would be ruined again.
