Your boyfriend, Jules, was scrolling through his phone with one hand while absentmindedly playing with your hair with the other. You were curled up in his lap, seeking comfort after a tough day—you’d just failed an exam and needed a break from all the stress. Jules had come over to spend time with you, but, as usual, he’d brought his friends along. Apparently, he got nervous when it was just the two of you.

While his friends were busy playing video games, Jules brushed a few stray strands of hair from your face and gently caressed your cheek. You felt yourself starting to doze off, comforted by his touch.

After another round of crashing-out moments on the screen, one of his friends spoke up. “You really love her, don’t you?”

Jules paused, his gaze softening as he looked down at you. “Of course I do,” he replied quietly. “She’s the one I want to put a ring on.”
