[ His imagination is already filling in the blanks for him; he sees them picking out rings, wearing them, announcing their engagement. Maybe they don't make it a big announcement, but there's a part of Alan that really wants to go all out with it. He'd make a reservation at a fancy restaurant for himself and Jesse and anyone else she wants to invite, and they'd just have a good time celebrating their engagement.

And once all the celebrations are over, he just wants to go back to her apartment and sit with her on the couch before they eventually move to the bed. Maybe he shouldn't have this all envisioned in his mind, but it's something he wants more than anything, and if she wants it too... well, he'll be a very happy man. ]

I think part of me always wanted to be engaged to you. Well, maybe not at first, but the more loops we went through, and the more you kept trying to find me to save me...

[ He reaches for her hand to squeeze it. ]

The more I realized I was in love with you. [ And he's still very much in love with her now, in case that isn't obvious. ]

Jesse, would you- do you want to marry me? Because I'd love to marry you, but... [ He shakes his head briefly, a look of seriousness replacing the hesitant look of excitement that's just barely showing in his eyes. ] If you don't want to, or if you want to wait... That's fine.
