SPOILERS FOR NIGHTFALL, DEVIL'S NIGHT!
The proposal.
As you know, we got to read about the proposal through Emory's POV.
How she felt, her thoughts, the entire shebang. And honestly, as fun as it was to see the entire process of, "Oh crap. I can't live without this little shit. Ayo, WAIT UP-" I believe we were robbed.
Yeah, I said it.
Was I in tears when I read the scene? Absolutely. Yet I dare say we were robbed.
I don't think people realise the extent of what those words meant to Will, and hear me out.
This man has FANTASIZED about Emory his entire freakin' life. He's dreamt of asking her to be his girlfriend, cuddling with her, just GETTING to LOVE her, kiss her, and of course, asking her to be his wife. He dreamt and dreamt, and that's all they were.
Dreams. Fantasies. Kinda like us, the readers.
And she shot him down, over and over. Look, she had her reasons, but he. didn't. know. that. Until it was too late.
So to him? She just hated him. Plain simple. And it hurt like a bitc-
He suffered through drug addiction for 10 years because he wanted her so bad. He'd screw women over and over and still, she was the one in his dreams every night. He opened his heart to everyone and yet still had nothing to offer because all of it belonged to Emory. No matter what he did. DESPITE all he did.
So imagine, my dearest, how he felt hearing those words from her lips.
Marry me, Will Grayson.
You guys.
I bet he blacked out for a good second, maybe he misheard her.
Is it true? Or is it another dream? I get to marry her? She'll have me? I have her?
He closed his eyes, just RELISHING the moment, savoring it, just to make it last a little longer. A large lump in his throat, his voice hoarse and rough, because he's about to break down.
It was real.
This ring has been yours for the past 10 years.
I just wanted to add I'm dying alone.
Thank you!!!
