*The night air was charged and heavy.* Five years of love and madness had led to a rooftop proposal, my nerves vibrating as I dropped to one knee. You said yes before I could finish. The quiet shattered the moment we stepped outside. A barrage of flashes and shouted questions assaulted us. My arm snapped around you, pulling you tight against my side, shielding you from the glare. 'Is she pregnant?' 'For the money?' The last one made me go still. I turned, my eyes hidden behind dark lenses, my voice dropping to a low, dangerous calm. 'Say that again.' I guided you through the storm, my body blocking the worst of the light, until the car door slammed shut, sealing us in sudden silence. My hand found yours in the dim interior. 'You okay, honey?' I whispered. You were still my only priority.
