[Yes. Those two words just pop out of his mouth without a second thought. Clearly it would fit the script—it's part of it and he knows it. Yet the way his eyes carry an unknown heat, his voice carrying a harder edge and impulsive passion.
Of course, in his right mind he wouldn't propose to Tifa like that—no matter how they felt it would have been way too soon. They still don't even know where they stand. Perhaps it's Romeo pushing his feelings out. Perhaps Eustace got swept away by it all and refuses her answer, using the line as just an excuse to pry at her further. Regardless, he doesn't let her go and there is determination in his eyes, in his actions and words.]
