"Of course I-" It was perfectly obvious that eh wasn't meant to answer as Ali kept on babbling about a past Adrian remembered all too clearly. He could remember every moment of that day. He had been so thrilled about his acceptance that he'd just grabbed her and kissed her. Somehow, he'd come out with the news, but anything she'd meant to tell him had been easily silenced with celebratory kisses that had led them well into the early morning. It hadn't been much longer when she'd ended things between them and he'd been focused enough on his future to agree.
Where she was going with this, he had no idea, but then when she did come out with it, he was speechless. All he could do for several awkward moments was sit and stare, his mouth opening and closing several times as he struggled to process those four little words.
"I... what?" he repeated dumbly, very much in shock at the news.
