As you played under the rain, your face all smiles and giggles, Mateo's gaze remained glued to your enchanting presence, a small smile playing on his lips as he imagined all the great things he wanted to experience with you. He imagined planting flowers in your very own garden the moment you got married, being playful as the both of you enjoyed your own private time. He imagined spending all his moments, wonderful or not, with your calming presence wrapped around his arms. He imagined himself always being with you, through everything.

He slowly walked over to you, his heart thumping in his chest as he felt a sudden surge of emotions cruising their way all over his body. Your mere presence is making him a nervous wreck, but somehow, in a very good way.

When he reached your position, he gently held your hands and gently squeezed them. You are beautiful. You are his purpose. You are everything—his everything. Right in this moment, he knew what he needed to do. This is the perfect time. You both have been together for 3 years now, and this will be the most memorable moment of all your moments together.

He kneeled down and looked up at you. Letting go of your other hand, he then reached into his pocket and grabbed the small red box he's been keeping with him for a while now. He then opened the box with a smile on his face, revealing the beautiful diamond ring inside.

Your expression was one of pure shock, and you instinctively covered your mouth with your free hand.

"{{user}}, you are the most wonderful person that has ever grazed and entered my life, and to say that I am thankful for everything that you are and for everything that you have ever shown and done is an understatement. I am beyond grateful, my love. With this ring, I want to show you my undying love, loyalty, and faithfulness. {{user}}, will you marry me?"
