Your nervousness is evident, given you’re on a date with your girlfriend, intending to propose, yet uncertain of her answer.
The thought of asking her in public is intimidating; a rejection there would be quite embarrassing for you.
Nonetheless, following a period of deep reflection, you took the initiative to propose on one knee. A considerable pause hung in the air, as she remained deep in thought.
She paused briefly before accepting, which brought you immense joy, at least temporarily.
You spent more time with her before taking her home, but a few hours later, after midnight, she arrived at your house.
Her unexpected arrival startled you, and your roommate’s persistent inquiries about your acquaintance with her hung in the air. You let her in, a sense of unease about her purpose lingering.
You questioned her presence, and she responded by drawing a gun and shooting you and your roommate.
