[ Tense and prepared to defend herself against a retaliation of some sort, Raina kept a careful eye on her man. Her eyes flickered to his hand, and as the beginning of the question came bubbling out of his lips -- a sinking feeling settled into the pit of her stomach. She glanced at him, horrified. Not because of what he was doing, but because of what she had done to him.
All of this time, he had intended to propose -- and she spent a good hour torturing him first.
Her eyes flooded with both an odd mix of guilty and happy tears. And she brought her hands up to cover her mouth to contain that mixed emotion. For a little while after Chilton asked, Raina couldn't say anything. And when she finally found the ability to speak, it was accompanied by a slap to his shoulder. A few repeated slaps to his shoulder. ]
You had this planned the whole time and you let me....keep hurting you. Oh, Frederick. [ Low and moaning with guilt. ] Oh, Frederick.
[ Her tears spilled freely now, deep unrelenting despair winning over her violence and she pressed her hand so apologetically to the blood stained chest. Emotion gripped her with such fierce intensity, she couldn't even say yes to the thing she had wanted for nearly a year.
So she managed to look him in the eye -- and with a soft sob, she nodded. Yes, yes...a hundred times yes. ]
