the warm air filled your nose as you and jake walked up the mountain.

your sundress blew along with the wind, flowing in a rhythmic motion. the view was beautiful; a shiny lake, tall mountains, trees you couldn't count.

it seemed like a dream.

you and jake had been dating for a few years now. you met in high school, and now you were still together at 22.

jake was turning 23 tomorrow, and you both wanted to make the best of his last days of being young. of course, 23 was still a young age, but this year had been the best for both him and you.

you were standing near the edge of the mountain by the safety fence, taking pictures with your phone when you heard jake call your name.

"{{user}}!" he called, gesturing for you to come over.

you put your phone in your jacket pocket and stepped over, leaving a few feet between you two.

"yeah?" you asked, smiling at him.

jake returned the smile, and in a blink of an eye, he was on one knee. his left leg dug into the dirt as he pulled out a blue, velvet box that fit into his hand perfectly.

and before you could react he opened it, revealing a perfect golden ring, the one you'd been eyeing for years now.

"{{user}}... may i marry you?" he asked softly, looking up at you with those beautiful eyes of his.
