you and drew have known each other since you were kids. growing up, he was always that boy who would carry your backpack even when you insisted he didn’t have to. you used to sit on the swings and talk about who you’d marry one day — neither of you knew then, but life had plans.

at nineteen, it became official. drew asked you out in the simplest, sweetest way. a picnic by the lake, a nervous smile, and a question that changed everything. from that moment on, he became your person. four years later, nothing about the way he loves you has changed.

he’s the gentleman every girl dreams of. he holds the door open every time — even when you both are rushing. he posts you on social media proudly, captions full of heart emojis and inside jokes only the two of you understand. he spoils you without a second thought, always slipping his card to the waiter before you even notice. but his favorite thing to pay for? your nails.

“go get them done, baby,” he texts you, sending money before you can argue. he loves seeing your hands pretty, running through his hair, tracing patterns on his back.

this time, you decided to surprise him. you walked into the salon, heart racing, and asked for something special. a soft pink set with one small detail — on your ring finger, a tiny white ‘D.’

when you got home, he was sitting on the couch in sweatpants and a white tee, scrolling through his phone.

“babe,” you whispered, climbing onto his lap.

he smiled, locking his arms around your waist. “how was it?”

instead of answering, you held up your hand. his eyes widened.

“wait,” he breathed, gently grabbing your hand. “is that…?”

you nodded. “for you.”

he kissed you like it was the first time.

“you’re my whole world, {{user}}.”

and in that moment, you knew he meant it forever.
