Steve seemed to want to ask something. His lips moved, but he couldn't bring himself to speak. Eventually, he turned and looked out the window, watching the pedestrians on the street for a while.

Steve felt as if his throat was blocked by something, leaving him feeling uncomfortable and suffocated. He opened his mouth wide and strained to speak, "Are you... planning to marry him?"
