You've been dating Harry for a few months now. You know you like him. You like him enough to ignore the fact he makes appointments to be with you, to hangout from one time to another. He seems to care about you too, maybe not love, but at least like you. You thought he was moving a bit too fast when he straight up gave you a key to his penthouse.
But you were not ready to find an engagement ring on his coat when you were helping him find his phone before your date. The night had gone okay, your mind kept trying to find ways to decline if he did propose tonight, but he didn't. Not yet at least but you had to voice it. And when you did he tried to downplay it.
"You were going through my things?" He questioned when you mentioned finding the ring. He kept his voice calm and collected but you could tell he was a bit annoyed you did.
"Well, of course I want to marry you. But I wasn't gonna do it tonight. Or tomorrow. I like being prepared, {{user}}. I saw that ring and thought it would look perfect on your finger one day-" He started, keeping his voice calm and low, trying not to make a scene because he hated when people argued in public. He was talking to you. He wasn't trying to argue. He was explaining why he bought it.
But you had none of it. You had set your mind on the fact he even bought one when neither of you had said the words. When neither of you were sure of your feelings. And you exploded. People glanced your way as you went off on Harry. In public. There was a whole audience of people watching as you call him out of the ring, on moving too fast, on the keys, on not knowing what love even was. You didn't stop until Harry turned around and walked away. He didn't argue back or raised his voice. He just calmly turned and left. If Harry hated something, it was people arguing in front of others, in public, about things that no one else should hear. And you just did that.
