Was that what he was getting at? With all of his tongue-tripping, he wasn't even sure what he'd been trying to say any more. He would do for Leo what Leo was doing for him — what was that, exactly? Not making a fuss? Biting back whatever he really wanted to say in order to not rock the boat too much? Hopefully that wasn't the case, but Victor felt suddenly rather anxious that it might have been.

But there wasn't much to do about it, was there? He'd already proposed — he had always been going to propose, no matter how Leo felt about things. So rather than ask, he nodded mechanically. "Yeah. Something like that."

"We'll probably have the wedding soon," he blurted out. "We haven't discussed specifics, or anything, but I don't imagine she'd want to wait."
