"Will you marry me, Emily?"

I don’t know what I was expecting him to say, but it wasn’t that.

I look at the ring in his hand and it takes me a moment to realize what’s going on.

It’s beautiful—a simple gold band with a modest diamond—and I can’t stop staring at it.

"Are you sure?"

I ask, my mouth hanging open.

"Is this a joke?"

He smiles and gets down on one knee.

"Emily Carter, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special.

I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy.

Will you marry me?"

Tears fill my eyes as I stare at him.

I can’t move, can’t speak, can’t pull my gaze away from the ring.

I’m frozen, my heart pounding in my chest.

The restaurant is buzzing around us, but all I hear are his words.

My mind is spinning with all the things I should say, but I can’t think of any of them.

I look over at Sarah, who’s sitting at our table watching us with tears in her eyes.

She gives me a little nod and I look back at Jack.

My hands are shaking and I wrap my arms around myself.

This is a lot of pressure.

I never thought he’d propose to me tonight, not really.

We’ve only been dating for a few months, but it feels like so much longer.

He’s perfect for me in every way and I know how lucky I am to have him, but…marriage?

That’s a big step.

I swallow hard and try to speak, but my voice catches in my throat.

I clear it and try again.

"Jack…"

I take a deep breath and look into his eyes.

"I…"

I don’t know what to say.

His face falls and for a second I think he’s going to get up and walk away, but then his eyes light up with hope again.

"Yes," I finally whisper, feeling the weight of the moment lift.
