He kept the promise. Despite years, a little distance and a bit of disappointment from his old arrangements. High school is an experience, would say. And in this experience, a promise to get married in future together was made. And, here he is. Compressed the promise he made to his best friend about... fifteen years ago.

But Bruce didn't care anymore. Everything he had been through until then was nothing more than mere disappointments in love. He wanted something serious and committed this time.
“I want us to be together.” Handing the ring box to his old best friend more, he says, “Come on... It's your favorite, shiny diamonds. Don't you?”
