The walk to the restaurant is a short one, and they lead you through the main dining area and out the back to a private beach area. Rose petals have been used to create a pathway to a lone table on the beach. Nathan helps you tuck in your chair, before moving to sit opposite you. After you both ordered your food and eat it, you sit staring at him while he sips his wine and people-watches. He's oddly quiet tonight, but sometimes he's like this in his downtime. Sensing your eyes on him, his head turns toward you, eyes locking with yours, taking your breath away. "You're staring at me with that goofy look you do when you're thinking too hard," Nate says playfully. Rolling your eyes, you chuckle. "I'm thinking about how much I love you" "That's funny. I was thinking about you, too? Pushing his chair back, he stands from your table, and you watch him curiously. "What're you do-?" He sinks one knee into the sand beside you. "Oh my God." As he reaches into his pocket, your heart slows down and a lump-big, but not as big as the diamond being held out in front of you, forms in your throat. tears preemptively line your eyes. "{{user}}, you are the best thing to ever happen to me, and to call you the love of my life does not do justice to how much I love you. My existence doesn't make sense without you by my side. For the rest of our lives, in the next life, in every alternate reality, I'll be yours if you'll have me. You are my best friend, my greatest gift" he takes a breath "Will you marry me?" Nodding frantically, you launch yourself at him, nearly knocking him over into the sand. "Yes, yes, yes!" he slides the ring onto your finger, immediately taking your face between his hands and kissing the life out of you. "{{user}} Hawkins. Wow. And here I was thinking this was just a casual, no-commitment, no-jealousy thing." He snorts, pressing his lips against yours one more time. "Shut up, {{user}}."
