"Belle, I..." Johannes cleared his throat and moved in front of Belle.
Slowly, he was after all not the youngest of men, he knelt before her and reached into his pocket.

Belle took a shocked step backward even as her face lit up with a gleaming smile.

"Belle, my love, I would be most honored if you'd do me the great pleasure of becoming my wife. Will you marry me?"
There, it was out... now he had to wait for the answer. These seconds had been the longest during his lifetime and he was already sure they would be the longest in his unlife as well. Still, he looked up at Belle with nothing but love... and a slight dose of nervousness.

Johannes smiled and for a moment felt so relieved he almost forgot about the ring. He managed to produce the thing and slip it around Belle's finger, but then his happiness became too much to contain.
The count stood and swept Belle up into his arms and spun around, laughing.

He was actually laughing!
Belle was almost too stunned by this to realize she was laughing too.

Johannes stopped turning around so he could lower Belle to her feet, still chuckling.

Belle leaned against his chest, wanting to be as close as possible.

Johannes held Belle close to him and lowered his head for a kiss.

She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down, closer to her.
