Candlelight dances across the linen tablecloth as the rumble of laughter and conversation fills the restaurant. Ralph’s palm rests warmly against your thigh beneath the table, a steady anchor in the joyful commotion. Your younger brother races past with his cousin, their bright giggles slicing through the din. Across the table, your mother catches your eye, her lips curved in a knowing, tender smile. Then Ralph pushes his chair back and rises. The clatter of cutlery dulls, chatter dies to a hush, and the room narrows until all you see are his earnest brown eyes as he kneels before you. A magnificent Diamond Bellagio ring catches the light, glinting in his steady hand. Every held breath in the room waits for your answer.
