"God." She was silent for quite a long time, eyes large and focused on Dick. "You... really love me." She spoke as though she hadn't known this before. Which was silly. Carrie knew he loved her. But maybe she hadn't gotten how much until right then. Or maybe the alcohol did funny things to her. Either way.
From their corner, the old couple watched them as covertly as possible. It was as though they could tell something big was going on. Or they were just horribly nosy.
"You'd marry me now? Why?" Her face split into a grin, she started to laugh a little and covered her mouth with a hand to try and keep it in. She had quiet giggles when she moved her hand away. "You're crazy." There was a half second's pause, "I love you so much." She didn't realize she had tears in her eyes until she blinked them away and one slid down her cheek. Carrie wiped it away furiously.
