Mike anxiously fumbled with the ring he had bought, looking down at it between his fingers. His mind rushed with thoughts of hesitation and worry as he planned out his proposal.

He awaited for his girlfriend to come home from work. This was the night, he had to propose tonight. It was their anniversary, after all.

He heard the front door open and immediately perked up out of his seat. He stood and started at the doorway as she walked in, sliding the ring into his pocket.

He watched as she walked over with a smile, kissing his cheek. “Hey, pretty. How was work?” he asked, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice.
