The ring was hidden in my pocket and ready to go.

Tonight, you and I were attending a lantern ceremony. For the whole two years we've been together, it's all you talked about wanting to do.

It was like a fantasy of yours. To attend a lantern ceremony. You swore it'd make you feel like a princess to watch them all float away in the sky. But they only came around once a year where we lived, and it was always in November.

We'd coordinated on wearing white just to match the vibe. I was wearing a white blouse with my white slacks, and I kept a special gem tucked away in my pocket.

You had no idea I was proposing tonight. I've had this ring for months now.

You came walking out in your white skintight dress that stopped at your ankles, and your white little cardigan clung to your arms. Your hair was pulled back with a golden clip, and you looked too cute for me to not smile as soon as I saw you.

"Oh my, baby," I gasped dramatically.
