Hunter pulled Kenzie closer, letting his tears spill, because for once, he couldn’t control them. After letting it all out, he took a deep but shaky breath. He searched for her fingers and slowly, he slipped something on her finger.
“Kenzie, I know I’m not perfect. I do stupid things and sometimes I act before I think. But I do love you, and despite how broken I am, I don’t want to leave you,” he took a deep breath to calm himself down. “When I’m with you, everything hurts less. I feel happy, like there’s nothing wrong with me and that I’m perfect. You make me feel perfect, you bring me together and make me feel like I’m much more than a puppet. I know we’re young and I know you might think that I’m making an abrupt decision, but I can make you happy, which I intend to do. I’m an artist, and hopefully an actor in the future so I can maintain a perfect, peaceful future for the both of us. Marry me, Kenzie. You don’t have to give me an answer right away. You can take your time. But know this, I’m not making this decision because of the situation. I’m doing it because I want to live the rest of my life with you. It’s sudden, I know, but I want to be able to call you my wife instead of my girlfriend.” Finally, Hunter stopped talking.
