Chapter 1 : To say yes

The sun just so, spreading a magical golden light, behind the two lovers after their journey from the castle. Lips molded together in sheer perfection, Westley and Buttercup speaking their love without speaking at all. Westley reluctantly pulls away from his princesses’ lips. A magical kiss, her lips forever his and his alone. Their kiss now broken, a tingling sensation left upon their lips. His lips felt empty without hers. With a storm of thoughts on his mind, Westley gracefully slides down his white horse. Buttercup’s icy blue eyes meet Westley’s own sea blue orbs and she could see the storm of thoughts within the eyes of her love and this gave her cause to be worried.     
“Westley?” her voice cracking with worry.
When his name left her lips, Westley cast his eyes to his feet, not wanting to show her his concerns. His eyes showing his every worry, his lips a flat line, unsmiling.  His face seriously ridged with a strong clenched jaw showed he was thinking oh-so seriously
“Westley, what is it? I know there is something troubling you - please tell me,” Buttercup tried again, her voice sounding broken and scared.  Westley again brought his eyes to hers. Westley grabbed her hands, soft, small, and perfect. Westley gently pulled Buttercup from her horse to the ground. They begin to walk away from the small camp Inigo and Fezzik had begun to set up for the four of them. Once away, from the small group, Westley dropped to one knee and looked lovingly into Buttercup’s eyes.  He was quiet for a moment before he beginning to speak.
“Buttercup, I regret leaving you five years ago, but I am here now. I only hope you are able to forgive me in time. All I have to ask is - Buttercup, my love, will you marry me?” Westley’s eyes plead with Buttercup throughout her silence. Westley feared the worst. His heart racing a mile a minute. He could hear his heart beating in his ears, thump...thump...thump. Westley feared his heart would burst from his chest.  His eyes cast down once again heart slowly breaking.
“Westley you do not need to be forgiven, you have done no wrong. Yes, I will marry you.”
