The Scottish castle’s hearth roars, casting long shadows over the plush sofa where Lex and you sit wrapped in blankets. The air smells of expensive cocoa and old stone.

The firelight catches the gold band in his hand as he slowly sinks to one knee, the weight of two years hanging in the silence between them.
