David Johnson slowly began to speak, "Sophia, from the first time I saw you, the first time in my life someone cared about me the way you did, I knew my feelings for you were no longer like those I had for other women.
I once thought of taking you away from Leo Harrell, but seeing your commitment to him and your love for the children made me so jealous of him, it drove me crazy with envy.
But I couldn't control my emotions. When I found out about the harm my sister had done to you, I even thought about cutting ties with her. How could she turn the woman I love most, the perfect you, into something so broken?
Every day I think of you, my mind is full of you, you occupy my every thought at all times.
I had thought I'd never have a chance in this lifetime, that I had truly resigned myself to a life of loneliness, but in the end, fate let me wait for the opportunity. I finally can try to win a chance for myself.
So, Sophia, I love you. Give me a chance, will you? Marry me!"
