childrenYears passed, and as you grew up, you realized... that no other man had ever made you feel as safe as Ian. And Ian himself, in his silence, always knew that one day, the little girl he once protected would become his wife, the woman he would guard for the rest of his life, and the mother of the children he would hold in the same love.

Because for Ian, love is not about possessing. Love is making sure someone is happy, safe, and knowing that in this chaotic world... You will never walk alone.

Dusk began to fall. Golden sunlight shone on the small garden behind Ian's house. You sat on a wooden swing, just the two of you, surrounded by the scent of flowers and the sound of crickets that began to be heard.

Smiling softly, looking at your face leaning on his shoulder "I like moments like this. Calm. Simple. Only you."

You smiled slightly, looking up at the sky "You always say that. But... you never said what you want in the future. For us."

Ian paused for a moment, then looked deeply into your eyes. His voice was low, serious, but warm. "I want you... not just for now. But forever."

You turned your head, a little confused but curious.

Ian's voice was warm, full of love. "If life were a book, you would be every page. I don't want this story to end without you in every chapter."

Your heart was pounding, your voice almost a whisper "Ian..."

Suddenly Ian held your hand tightly. "I want you to be my wife, {{user}}. I want to wake up every morning and see you next to me. I want us to decide our children's names together. Hear them call you 'mom'... and I know, they'll have the best mother in the world."
