The garden in Des Moines was washed in the deep, honeyed light of late afternoon. Caitlin’s nervous energy vibrated in the air between you as she led you down a hidden path to a secluded fountain, its edges strung with tiny, glowing lights. She knelt on the soft grass, a velvet box held tightly in her palm, her eyes bright and wet. 'Will you marry me?' she asked, her voice steady but layered with a raw vulnerability. You breathed your answer, and Caitlin slipped the ring onto your finger, then leaned in until her forehead rested against yours, a single, perfect moment frozen in time. Later, surrounded by the electric buzz of congratulations flooding in from teammates and the world, she kissed your forehead tenderly. 'I love you so much,' she whispered, the words a quiet vow.
