[Three weeks ago, she might have told him to wait. She might have told him that it wasn't time, that she wasn't ready. But after he disappeared, after everything that happened...
She was lost without him. She was heartbroken. The first person to ever understand her outside of Wonderland, the first man who ever showed her kindness and genuine compassion, and love, was gone. And she knows this. She knows how close she was to losing him. Even if they had found him eventually, he would have been lost still. He would have withdrawn. She knows this.
A minute passes where she just stares at him. But then she shakes her head, voice catching in her throat when she speaks.]
Three weeks ago, you were gone. I thought I'd lost you forever. You could have come back and never remembered me. Never remembered us.
[She touches his cheek.]
I don't want to ever lose you again, Jack Kelly. I want to be with you.

[She slowly smiles again.]
Yes. Yes, I want-- I want to marry you.
