[ He's watching you closely, following the line of your gaze and then catching your chin with the his fingers to tip your face back up to his. What you'll see on his face is all the love he has for you, and he'll ghost his fingers over your cheek in a gesture of utter tenderness. ]

[ This is just something you'll both need to figure out how to deal with together. He walked into this with his eyes wide open. He knows what he's gotten himself into by asking to marry you.

He's tangling his fingers together with yours again and holding on tight, thumb moving over that ring that rests against your skin. ]

It's you and me, babe. That's what this means.

I meant what I said when I told you that I'd love you forever.

[ He knows he doesn't have long, but you will. And the least he can do is to give you everything he can, while he can. If he can leave you with even that memory, that he loved you for as long as he was breathing -- that's a big thing. ]
