"Yes."

Time slowed.

Xavier went quiet, as did Honey, their squabbling ending.

"Say...Say it again? I-I-I don't think I heard correctly." Honey stammered, his hand beginning to shake.

"I'll marry you." Elliot answered softly.

In an instant, a overwhelming feeling, much like a tsunami, crashed into Honey, almost destabilising him, his mind sent into a frenzy to unpack her words.

After staring blankly for a moment, a stupid grin grew on Honey's face, growing wider and wide,"Then..."

He held Elliot's right hand up,"It's decided." He slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

"It's decided." Elliot said softly, looking up to Honey, her eyes dilated.

"What's an inner demon?" Elliot tilted her head.

Honey was taken aback,"Woah woah woah. Hold up. Hold up." He stared incredulously at Elliot,"You don't know what an inner demon is?"

Elliot shook her head honestly.

"A voice that constantly talks to you. Annoys you? The one you hear when you're born? Ring a bell?"

"Nope."

"Wow. Okay. Uh...Xavier. You can check for other inner demons, right?"
