The two sat out there, watching as the river flowed in silence. This continued for several minutes before David finally turned to her.
"I don't know if it's too soon or if you would even agree but how about you come stay here with me, the place is too big for even the both of us talk less of just me alone" David proposed
"You do know that the both of us staying together increases the chances of this not working out," Fadila said
"Well, it's a good thing; I'm aiming for marriage, not some short-lived bliss," David replied with a smile
Looking at the man in front of her, Fadila couldn't find any words to say, as so far, all he had done was impress her. He was everything she was looking for, or more broadly, what every sensible woman was looking for.
He may not be all that great in the height or looks department, but he was okay. He was caring and clearly loved her enough to repeatedly consider marriage despite being from a home that has seen nothing but the dark sides of marriage.
