Priscilla nestled herself against him as he pulled her close, shaking her head a bit. "It...would hurt you if I left," she said softly. "And it would hurt me if you left. That's why I want to be with you," she said softly. She lifted a hand and rested it gently on his cheek, her grey eyes gazing lovingly up at him. "Am I...allowed to ask why it's so unthinkable to propose within the first six months of courting, though? I...get that things here are very different...but it just seems so strange to me. My understanding, as my parents and grandparents and pretty much everyone has always put it, is that if you're together six months and you're not sure if you want to be together, then the relationship's likely going nowhere. If you're together six months and you know you want to be together, though...then just get married, because that's what you do when you want to be with someone forever."
