❦ Zest Household, Day Forty-Six ❦
“I don’t know what to say,” Charlie whispered as Felix slipped the ring on his finger.
Felix gave a chuckle and told him, “You could start by saying yes?”
Charlie was quiet for a long moment. Everything he’d been feeling the past few weeks, that he wasn’t good enough, that something needed to change in their relationship, that he wasn’t good at expressing his feelings or letting people in. All of those feelings and emotions were right out there in the open, but Felix was on one knee telling him to get out of his head and just say yes. He swallowed thickly.
“You really mean this?” Charlie asked timidly.
“I mean this. I’ve discovered so much about myself thanks to you, Charlie. You mean the world to me.” Charlie stared at him and let out a slow breath. The thing was...he wished he could say the same thing. He was happy with Felix. Content and thought Felix was a great guy. But was he ready to marry him? More importantly, was Felix ready to re-marry? And a guy at that. They’d been together less than a year and a lot had happened in that time but he still felt like that connection wasn’t there. Something wasn’t there.
Despite it all, he found himself giving a small smile, looking at the ring around his finger. It should be enough that someone thought to put it there, right? It should be enough that Felix thought the world of him. But was it? Was he about to do Felix a disservice by saying, “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Felix asked, grin on his face as he stood up. “You’re saying yes?”
“I’m saying yes,” Charlie repeated, for better or for worse, he’d have to find out.
