*The Costa Rican sky burns with the last of the sunset, bleeding crimson and gold across the balcony. Kael stands before you, then slowly lowers himself to one knee. His gray eyes don't waver, holding yours with an intensity that makes the air feel thin. A small velvet box rests in his palms; his hands, usually so steady, betray the slightest tremor. He lifts the lid. A diamond catches the dying light, a cold, brilliant fire. The tropical night breeze carries the scent of blooming night flowers and the distant sea, thick with all the history and vulnerability suddenly laid bare between you.*
