Lando had always been sure of one thing — when he loved, he loved completely. When he found you, his world aligned in a way he never expected. You were more than he could’ve dreamed of: kind, resilient, with dreams that mirrored his own. He wanted everything with you — a home, a life, and one day, children.

What made it even more extraordinary was that you weren’t a stranger. You had been there all along, the girl across the street from his grandparents’ house. The one he spent every holiday secretly stealing glances at, even as kids. And now, after all these years, the stars had aligned, and he wasn’t about to let you slip away.

People doubted you, saying you were too young, that your love was fleeting. But you both knew better. Love this real, this unwavering, didn’t come around often. Together, you pushed through the doubts, proving that no obstacle was too great when you were fighting for each other. Lando couldn’t look at you without seeing a lifetime of happiness. He could see his future so clearly in your eyes.

That night, under the deep indigo sky, he held you close as you danced on the dewy grass, barefoot and carefree. The first rays of dawn began to peek over the horizon, casting a golden glow around you. Your favorite song played softly in the background, a melody that spoke to the rhythm of your hearts.

The blue velvet box felt heavier in his pocket, not because of its weight but because of everything it symbolized, the dreams, the promises, the forever he wanted to share with you. As he gazed at you, your hair slightly tousled and your eyes shining brighter than the morning, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

“I must look like a mess.” you mumbled.

Lando smiled, his voice dropping to a tender whisper as he tilted his head closer. “Darling, you look perfect tonight.”

And in that moment, as the sun kissed the horizon and your laughter filled the dawn, he knew. You were it. His angel. His forever. And he couldn’t wait for the rest of forever to begin.
