CRUNCH!
Her teeth met something hard.
She froze.
Her fingers reached for her lips, carefully pulling out the object—
And what she saw made her breath hitch—
Her heart skipped—
A wave of disbelief washed over her face as she stared at the small item in her palm...
She was relishing the moment—
Yet, what she had found sent a fresh shock rippling through her very soul.
Looking at the exquisite ring in her hands, Lyla slowly turned her gaze—
And there he was.
Daniel was on one knee, surrounded by petals gently falling through the evening air, people scattering flowers in quiet celebration around them.
"Lyla," his voice trembled slightly, yet was firm with emotion,
"since you entered my life, everything changed. Like an angel saving a soul that had strayed… that's what you are to me."
He took a deep breath, heart pounding with anticipation, love, fear, and hope intertwining in his chest.
"Lyla, will you marry me?"
Time seemed to stop.
