It is important to him, yes, but not as important as having her in his life. He just thinks it's the kind of thing one should know when they talk about this kind of commitment - and honestly, he thinks he should have mentioned it already, he just didn't want to make things sound any more serious than they were.

But he's glad he's told her now. Just like he's glad to know exactly how serious she wants it to be. Even if it scares him, admittedly.

He should have expected her to get on one knee after that, but it still surprises him, and he grins bashfully as he looks down at her. Part of him can't help find the situation a little funny, her wrapped up in that towel and him in his robe, but mostly? It's sweet, and it's wonderful.

"I would. Yes."
