"Will you marry me?", I whispered.
"Shhhhh", she said, adjusting her lenses. I looked at her absorbed in her work- that is one of the things I love most about her. Her total concentration, even on something as commonplace as a dandelion. The seeds scattered. Her shutter clicked continuously. She checked the images on the viewer.
"Darn, missed it again by a microsecond", she said straightening up. She turned her heart-shaped face to mine. "You were saying?"
"I love you", I said, slipping my arms around her waist. The moment had passed. I had a lifetime to pop the question.

A new drabble (or more) every single day in the month of February.
All your favourite drabblers are there- don't miss it!

I love this, especially the last line.
He stumbled through it once - at some point, he'll manage to say it again.
A sweet drabble - which can be interpreted in many ways.
Rayna - What a wonderful little story :-). I love it that he cares that much about her. A great story!
I love this, it made me blush, to think the intimate moment was scattered and lost. Great Job~
"Drabblers" -- ha ha, it never occurred to me that this is what writers of drabbles would be called, but it makes sense! A bit uncomfortably close to "dribblers" though, isn't it, LOL?
ooo... :o) That is so wonderfully romantic! I'm luvin reading all these love stories--thanks, honey~ xoxo
Already you can see how perfect they are for each other. :)
So sweet! :o)
@ Damyanti- thank you. I wrote the last line first, incidentally!
@ Alex - I am sure he will. Only not now.
@ Dorte- thank you. I had only one story in mind, but the beauty of shorter fiction is that it is open to interpretation.
@ Margot- thank you. There's is quite a perfect relationship, isn't it?
He will make her happy, and derive happiness from her.
@ Ella - like Alex says, he did it once, so he will definitely do it again.
@ Debra- I never quite figured why they are called drabbles, but if they are drabbles, we are drabblers, even if it is uncomfortably close to another.
@ Leigh- thank you, Leigh. I love writing love story drabbles. Actually, if I am to make a confession, I love love stories.
@ Oddyoddyo13- they are, aren't they?
@ Jessica- thank you.
