I don’t know what came over me, but as I neared the end of the song, I wanted to do something sweet. Asking Lefa to share a bed probably wouldn’t be a big deal to most cappers, but on Earth, we never took such a direct approach. So, as I neared the song’s end, I approached Lefa. While the final notes still hung in the air, I pulled the pink flower out of its temporary home on Gram’s cloak and offered it to her.

Lefa’s jaw dropped. Was gifting flowers to a girl not a thing in Game World? As far as I knew, most women loved such gestures. I had mixed feelings about them. I didn’t see the romance in giving someone a dying plant, but that was probably me trying to sound cool and cynical. With a shaky hand, she accepted my gift and audible gasps spread throughout the room. I looked around confused. Did I do something wrong?

“By the spirits, Perry, yes!” Lefa exclaimed, throwing her arms around me, and my heart jumped into my throat. “I will marry you!”

“...What?”

The tavern burst into thunderous cheer and clapping. I spotted Hruk staring at me from not far away, wide-eyed.

“Seriously?” I wondered out loud remembering how the older woman and Hruk had spoken about the flower. They knew. The cappers didn’t consider sex a big deal, but the exchange of a singular pink flower meant we were betrothed. “I was just trying to be romantic. I didn’t mean to—”

“Of course! After those songs and the raw emotion behind them, how could I say no to you? To think you serenaded me all evening to build up to this moment. I couldn’t have imagined something more perfect.” She kissed me hard. Still in shock, I let her tongue part my lips and caress mine. The cheering intensified and people hooted as we kissed. Minutes ago, I would’ve appreciated her large breasts pressed against my chest—bloody hell, I would’ve gone for a squeeze while at it. Now I wanted nothing to do with them. Then, she pulled away. “I mean. That song didn’t hold a candle to Wonderwall, but I couldn’t have imagined a more romantic proposal in front of all my friends and family!”

My audience parted for Grog as he made his way over to us. The giant capper wrapped his arms around Lefa and me and lifted the both of us off the ground. “I should’ve guessed it when I saw the flower,” he said, his face buried in our shoulders. “You were late because you wanted to make my daughter happy! I should never have doubted you, little man. My advisors said we should restrict your movement further, maybe even put a tail on you, but Lefa knew better.” The Chief hiccupped as he rambled on. “She said you were a man of honour. I should’ve believed her.”

“Da, are you crying?” Lefa asked, cutting him off.

There was no explaining the situation now, was there? If I told them the truth, I’d never escape the city.
