If Raphael had not said earlier that there was nothing to worry about, Beth would have been extremely anxious about what he wanted to speak about.
"Elizabeth," he used her full name, and Beth wondered if this was something serious.
"Why are you calling me Elizabeth? Beth is fine," said Beth, and she heard Raphael chuckle.
"Okay. Let's retry it. Beth," he said with a pause and a smile on his lips, "Since the last four years, I have made many wonderful memories of my life with you. And I treasure each and every one of them very dear to me. I have known your good, your bad and the ugly side."
"Thank you," murmured Beth.
