He must watch out. Things weren’t as he set up and planned for. Nick removed the scarf from her eyes, kneeled down, opened the ring box, and asked Molly to marry him. Molly didn’t respond back. She didn’t say I do. Instead, she had a change of heart. She didn’t want him anymore. Molly is the type of person that always chooses to compromise things.
