Pinja awkwardly fidgeted with the leather cord.

"Surely there's someone else you would rather give this to, or to hold onto it to give it to someone..."

Lek shook his head. "You're the only one I want to give it to."

Where Pinja came from men did not just randomly give expensive jewelry to women... Unless they were foolishly rich and showing off. Lek was not rich, and he was not showing off. If this was from anyone else Pinja would be terrified about what a man would want to give her such a thing, she had to remind herself that Lek was Millie's brother, he visited them often, he had always been kind... But she was getting nervous. She gave Millie a confused look.

Millie smiled gently at her. "Lek likes you, Pinja. A lot. He's trying to tell you that in his own way."

Instead of comforted Pinja became more nervous, frightened even. She was sure no decent guy could like her after Jack kidnapped her the first time, definitely not after what Jack and his people did to her after the raid. She tried to get up.

Lek blushed, he knew he should have known Millie knew that. He shyly looked down at his feet. "I wish I had said something before... Before all those bad things happened. I've liked you for a while."

"Pinja, you're not strong enough to leave. If you want Lek to leave, just tell him," Millie said softly.

Oh god, Lek wasn't denying it! Pinja did not know what to say. She did not want him there, but she did not want to hurt him by telling him to leave. She had so few friends, she did not want to lose Lek as a friend.

Lek could see that Pinja was getting nervous and decided to get this over with quickly.

"Would you marry me?" Lek asked.
