Ho imparato abbastanza italiani per impressionare Elsabetha con le mie nuove competenze linguistiche, ora sto per chiederle se mi avrebbe fare gli onori di diventare mia moglie.
Spero che saids sì, abbiamo tanto in comune e lei è la cosa migliore che sia mai successo a me. I miei nervi sono alti, ma questa è la cosa giusta da fare, lei è la mia anima gemella e lei è perfetta, io sono in pace!
