[He says it with finality, leaning back again in the chair, softening a great deal after a moment.]
I mean, I get it. I was too. I was ready for this the second I woke up after we got rid of Black Ghost for good, but I made up all of these excuses, like how she was probably mad at me for going off without a goodbye even though we already talked about it, or that we can't have kids so it'd be too painful for her to have that one half without the other, or even just the simple fear that she didn't want to marry me, or get married at all, or... anything. But you know... she was just waiting for me to ask all this time. If I wasn't so scared about it, things would have gone a lot differently.
[He smiles gently, the soft kind that makes it obvious he's thinking about Francoise.]
It's funny though, how we can face things like Black Ghost and His Voice and keep getting back up to fight but when it comes to our personal lives we're complete cowards.
