After carefully weighing all the pros and cons, I finally decided to accept Christian's proposal.It wasn't just an impulsive decision, but a conscious choice based on thoughts about how it would affect my life, Ruby, and our future.
In the end, I realized that this could be a chance for something better and more stable than what we had now. After all, Ruby deserves a normal life, with both parents around, not just an aunt who has to do everything on her own.
When I told Christian that I agreed, his face lit up with such sincere joy that for a moment I even felt awkward.
"Thank you for trusting me," he said, and there was so much relief in his voice that I felt a little guilty for perhaps not seeing our hypothetical future union in quite the same light as he did.
Well, in any case, we discussed the details and ultimately decided to set our "date" for this Saturday.
