Nigel feels his face heat up, hearing Arlia's answer, then her sudden question. Turning to the beautiful Italian woman next to him, he opens his mouth to ask why she was asking, until he looks into her eyes and sees the same tempest of emotion that was raging inside of him. Suddenly, it all became clear to him. Pulling Arlia closer to him, he whispers, "Yes...I do. I never really gave it much thought until now, honestly. I never thought I'd live long enough to truly experience it, but...I love you, Arlia."
