The remark was not in any way an answer but he threaded the ring through and tied the end of the string to his finger, keeping it from sliding down until Sam replied. He gave a look, almost nervous of a rejection. Had it not been enough time? Should be have waited until another moment to ask? He probably should have gone through with all the other plans and made it much more special. But what about not being able to wait for an engagement and plans for a forever? It counted for something, right?

"You haven't answered, Sam," he finally remarked, eyes gazing down at the man in question and he almost wanted to move off his lap just in case.
