"So you mean, we should get married first?"
Married?!
Vera Wave widened her eyes. "You and me?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
"No...this..." Vera stammered, struggling for words. "This...isn't it too fast? We don't know each other well enough yet..."
They had known each other for less than two weeks, and only a day after making their relationship official, he was already talking about marriage. The pace was a bit too much for Vera to keep up with.
"What about an engagement first?"
What?!
Now he's talking about an engagement?!
"No, that's not it..." Vera turned her face to look at Kris Cooper, who was driving. "But...I haven't even met your parents yet..."
"You'll meet them tonight."
"No, I mean...this is all...just too fast... Can we take it slow, please?"
Kris Cooper thought for a moment. "Marriage, engagement, cohabitation...pick one."
"Then I choose cohabitation!" Vera responded without hesitation.
He grinned. "As you wish."
