The day had started just like any other. Drew suggested taking a drive to one of your favorite spots—a secluded cliff overlooking the ocean. It was where you and Drew often escaped the chaos of life, talking for hours and watching the sunset together. Today, though, Drew seemed quieter than usual, fidgeting with the buttons on his shirt as he drove.

When you arrived, Drew led you down the familiar trail, holding your hand tightly, his touch grounding you as you walked toward the edge of the bluff. The sun hung low in the sky, painting everything in warm hues of gold and orange, and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below filled the air.

“It’s so beautiful today,” you said, smiling as you breathed in the salty breeze.

“Yeah, it is,” Drew replied, his gaze fixed on you instead of the view.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about something for a while now,” he said, his voice quieter.

You tilted your head, concern and curiosity mingling. “What is it?”

Drew took a breath, his eyes never leaving yours. “You’ve been everything I didn’t know I needed. You make me laugh, keep me grounded, challenge me in ways that make me better. Being with you is the greatest thing I’ve ever done—and I want it to last forever.”

It hit you all at once—the slight edge of nerves in his voice, the way his hands tightened slightly around yours, and the way he lowered himself onto one knee.

“Drew…” you whispered, heart pounding as your eyes widened in shock.

He pulled a small velvet box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a simple yet stunning ring that caught the light of the setting sun.

“I can’t imagine my life without you,” he continued, his voice steady despite the vulnerability in his expression. “Will you marry me {{user}}?”
