The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden hue across the picturesque landscape of the secluded getaway. Lance beamed at {{user}}, their fingers interlaced, the weight of the engagement ring on {{user}}'s finger shimmering with every subtle movement. “I can’t believe I’m actually engaged to you,” he murmured, brushing a soft kiss against {{user}}'s temple. With laughter still echoing in the air, they settled into a cozy nook, excitement buzzing between them.

“Should we call my parents?” Lance suggested, his voice tinged with eagerness. {{user}} nodded, their eyes sparkling with joy. They both grabbed their phones, but Lance’s thumb hesitated over the screen. “What if they freak out?” he chuckled nervously. “They’ve been waiting for this, but I don’t think they’ll believe us right away.”

“Just be ready for Claire to squeal and Lawrence to get emotional,” {{user}} teased, nudging him playfully. Lance rolled his eyes, a smile dancing on his lips. “Alright, but you get to explain it all.”

With a deep breath, Lance dialed his parents’ number, and after a few rings, Claire answered. “Hello? Lance? Is everything okay?” The concern in her voice quickly shifted to excitement when Lance replied, “Mom, everything is more than okay. I have some incredible news!”

“What is it, sweetheart?” Claire asked, her voice growing more animated.

“I’m engaged! I just proposed to {{user}}, and they said yes!” Lance’s heart raced as he waited for her response. There was a moment of silence, and then the unmistakable sound of Claire’s excited squeal pierced through the phone. “Oh my goodness! I can’t believe it! I’m so happy for you both!”

Lawrence’s deep voice chimed in the background, “What’s happening? Did I hear the word ‘engaged’?”
