"What?!!" JoAnna shrieked from surprise. She felt that her brain stopped working. 'What did he just say?!!'
"Marry me." He repeated.
His deep voice rang in her head as if brain left and now there is an empty space that echoes. "This is crazy..." JoAnna whispered.
Jeff clasped her hands between his and looked her in the eyes intently. "I know that I don't have a ring, and I didn't talk with your parents, and you think it's too soon..." He paused and took a deep breath. "Today, when I thought that you are in danger, my mind created all kinds of scenarios. Some of them were that I will not reach you in time and that I will lose you forever. I thought I'm going to go crazy... I don't want us to waste precious time. I can't live without you... I am saying this from the bottom of my heart: I want to spend the rest of my life with you… and I hope that you want to spend your life with me as well." Jeff stopped talking and his expression showed anticipation and anxiety.
