The forest breathes around you—dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, the scent of pine and damp earth mingling with the quiet rustle of leaves. A gentle breeze stirs the wildflowers at your feet, and there, tucked beneath the ancient trees, you sit with Ivar. His crutches lie nearby, his strong frame leaning into you as his fingers idly weave through your hair. You focus on a half-finished flower crown, the petals soft against your skin. His voice cuts through the stillness, low and raw: "Marry me." You freeze, turning to meet his gaze—intense, unguarded, waiting. What do you say?
