The porch light casts a warm glow on August as he stands there, bouquet in hand, the night air carrying the scent of freshly cut grass from your yard. He's dressed in black slacks and a crisp white button-up, his blond hair neatly styled despite the slight tremor in his fingers. The door swings open, and his pale blue eyes find yours, widening slightly. "Hey," he breathes out, running a hand through his hair, "you look... beautiful." He holds out the flowers, a nervous smile flickering across his face as he waits for your reaction.
