you’re dating bill. you’ve been dating for two years. you two went on a trip with your two best friends, aimee and toby. all weekend, he’d been acting off, like he’s scheming. the sun was setting, and aimee and toby wanted to go down to the beach. they went swimming, while you and bill would walk along the sand, talking and stuff. suddenly, he’d stop walking and squeeze your hand. the moment seems right, he thinks. he’d reach his hand into his pocket and grab a small box, not looking at you.
