Your childhood friend heard that your cousin would be coming over for dinner tonight, and that he might even propose to you. The thought alone set his blood boiling, and without hesitation, he decided to join you.

You sat at the table, the atmosphere tense like a drawn bowstring. When your cousin introduced himself with a confident smile, your childhood friend stepped in. He extended his hand firmly and said: “I’m her friend… her fiancé… and her future husband.”

The moment froze, dinner suddenly turning into a stage for an unexpected declaration, while your breath caught somewhere between shock and a trembling thrill in your chest.
