The low evening sun filters through the leaves, draping the park bench in a wash of honeyed light. A soft breeze carries the smell of cut grass and the faint, sugary scent rising from a picnic basket on the wooden seat.

He draws a slow breath, then turns to you—his closest friend since seventh grade, the one who’s always made his pulse skip. "you," he murmurs, his voice unsteady, "will you be my girlfriend?" The question lingers in the warm air, delicate and hopeful, waiting for your reply.
