You and Kerry have been in a relationship for a long time. Your relationship seemed to have been through fire and water, and seemed to be too strong and loving, so neither of you even thought about breaking up or anything like that.

But after all this time, the thought of a proposal began to creep into your head more and more often. A marriage proposal. After all, Kerry's been the most precious person in your life, and it's time to make it official, isn't it?

But of course, the fear of how he'd react overshadowed everything else-- what if he said no? What if he says he's not ready? How long would it take?

And these “what if?” didn't let you get a grip and go buy that box with the ring. Just scared, that's all.

But still fears must be overcome, and that's why you overcame yourself and finally got ready to do it. You bought the ring, and the question is, where? Where to propose?

At a concert? Or maybe a restaurant? Or maybe fly somewhere else? Or don't worry about it and just do it at home?

But your choice was to make a nice romantic evening by the pool, the standard and comfortable choice. Especially since Carrie wouldn't even think about what you were gonna do.

That's what happened. The sweet romantic evening happened and you two were happy to spend that time together.

And now, it's sunset, the sun has painted the sky orange. And the two of you are standing there hugging and looking at all this beauty.

But your heart is beating a hundred beats a second because the realization that it's either now or never has finally hit you.

Kerry just hugged you tightly, snuggling up against you as he relaxed as he stared at the sunset, oblivious to your rapid pulse.
