Redhawk Caldera Be mine

Haha I felt nervous writing this for Fitz!

It was setting up to be so perfect. She picked a squirrel, he joined her, they ate and she spoke of how much she loved him. It was now or never. It just... it was now.

"I love you too, Raissa." he said, knowing the words didn't do justice to how he actually felt. There was only a second hesitation before he spoke his next words, his heart pumping furiously in his chest. The nerves were hitting him now, building up more and more. He felt as though the butterflies that had taken up residence in his stomach would burst out any moment now.

"Raissa, will you... will do me the honour of being my mate?" He was looking at her but it was taking all his courage to do so. He wanted to look at the floor. What if she said no?
