She just got back from her hometown earlier and now here goes Joaquin, kneeling in front of her, asking her hand in marriage. It was a bold move of him, you just finished serenading her on her balcony, yet that was your only move.

She gasped at the sight of the ring as she hid your guitar behind her back. She looked at Joaquin’s eyes but saw no sincerity in his proposal. She hesitated. Then the doors opened. Revealing you. You stumbled inside, landing on Joaquin as he caught you with ease.

He saw your guitar on Maria’s back so he glanced at you then back to her.

Wait. Did she proposed too? He asked.

Maria tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear as she smiled at the thought of you proposing to her.

“No...”

She then looked at you.

“Are you going to?”

She asked you. Completely ignoring Joaquin and his ring.
