When I suddenly heard something like that from my friend's mouth, I wasn't sure if I really hadn't imagined it.
— What… What did you just say? — I asked, just in case.
The baron's youngest son sighed.
— I understand that this might sound unexpected to you, but still…
«Unexpectedly? That's putting it mildly!»
Getting a marriage proposal was the last thing I expected to hear in a situation like this. And besides, I never expected to hear something like this from Jeremy. What is this guy even thinking about?
— Do you remember how our acquaintance originally began?
When the guy asked this question, I involuntarily closed my mouth before I could say anything.
— Of course… — I said reluctantly, — It's hard to forget such things.
