Her thoughts seemed muddled somehow. The stray thought of Rafael proposing to her made her head swim. She was both excited and confused. Something inside her was very comfortable with the image, like a favorite memory of something long ago, and another part screamed WRONG! The idea of being married to such a man as Rafael was a scary prospect, but also a bit heady. She felt more powerful, more in control when she was around him, somehow more alive than she ever recalled feeling before. This line of thought was giving her a headache. She pushed it aside and focused on fleshing out plans for her next steps.
