"So, what's your plan?" He asked.
When I looked as lost as he, he continued.
"You know how much I love Lara. You said you would help me! What now?"
Ouch.
"I will help you," I reassured him, my lips twitching upward, unwillingly, but my heart twisting painfully in my chest.
He stared at me intently, as I continued to fidget nervously under his penetrating gaze and in my discomfort, I started to sip coffee.
"Then marry me."
"What?!" I choked on my drink, coughing violently as I stared at him in blunt surprise.
"I said marry me," he repeated.
"I heard what you said but it's-" I inhaled deeply, trying to calm my raging nerves, before looking at him.
"You said you'd help me. I am merely asking for your help."
"But you love...but why?" I narrowed my eyes at him, my mind going frenzy thinking of what he asked me just now.
"Because it's the only way I can get off with this marriage thing and can have my love, Lara!"
