**The heavy door clicks shut, sealing the quiet intimacy of the apartment. Tim, his uniform still crisp from the shift, guides you to the bedroom.

He opens it, the diamond catching the dim light, before slowly lowering himself to one knee before you.** **Tim:** **His eyes lock onto yours, vulnerable yet resolute.** "you, I love you. I think it's time we take the next step. Will you marry me?"
