Bakari isn’t the most romantic guy in the classic way (he once called holding hands down the street ‘a bit inefficient for our purposes. What is it for? You know I care about you, and it’s not great for optimised walking’), but, still, I didn’t think a proposal would involve him talking about how marriage might make the most financial sense like I’m in a Regency romance, and my family are struggling gentry with a crumbling manor, having to retrench.
