“Actually...” I hesitate, biting my lip as I try to gather my courage. “There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you.”
“Oh?” Percival raises an eyebrow, curious but not pressing me for details.
“Maybe later,” I say, feeling the weight of the words on my tongue. “At the beach?”
“Sure thing,” he agrees, giving me a reassuring smile. “No pressure.”
“Thank you.” I return his smile, relieved to have someone who understands and respects my need for time and space.
As we prepare for our picnic, I practice saying those three little words in my head, hoping that when the moment comes, I’ll be brave enough to let them fly. Little do I know, Percival has a surprise of his own. But for now, all that matters is the love we share and the journey we’re taking together.
My heart races as Percival, and I walk hand in hand toward the beach, the salty air filling my lungs while the sound of waves crashing against the shore fills the background. The sun is setting, casting a golden glow across the sand and making the ocean sparkle like a million tiny diamonds.
“Do you remember the first time we came here?”
Percival asks, his voice warm and nostalgic.
“Of course,” I reply, recalling the memory fondly. “My very first surfing lesson, how could I forget it.”
“Exactly. And I remember how your eyes lit up like a whole new world had opened up to you.” His fingers gently squeeze mine, and I feel a rush of affection for him.
“Speaking of new worlds…” I trail off, trying to muster the courage to say what I’ve been practicing all day. “There’s something I want to tell you.”
“Go ahead,” he encourages me, his gaze steady and supportive.
Taking a deep breath, I finally manage to say those three precious words: “I love you.”
Before I can even register his reaction, Percival grins from ear to ear and pulls me into a tight embrace. “I love you too, Spencer. More than anything.”
“Really?” I ask, surprised and elated at his confession.
“More than you could ever know.” He leans down and kisses me tenderly, our love coming alive in that shared moment.
As we break apart, I notice Percival has a mischievous glint in his eye. “What’s that look for?” I tease, suspecting he’s up to something.
“Spencer O’Hagan, you have made my life so much better ever since we met. And I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy.” With that, he gets down on one knee and produces a small velvet box from his pocket. My heart skips a beat as I realize what’s happening.
“Spencer, will you marry me?” Percival asks, opening the box to reveal a stunning diamond ring that catches the last rays of sunlight.
I’m speechless, tears welling up in my eyes as I process the enormity of this moment. The man I love is proposing to me on the beach as the sun sets and the sounds of the ocean surround us, it’s more than I ever could have dreamed of.
“Yes,” I whisper, my voice trembling with joy. “Yes, Percival Hills, I’ll marry you.”
As he slides the ring onto my finger, we embrace once more, our love has reached new heights in a single unforgettable moment. Unbeknownst to us, our journey together has only just begun, and our future, much like the ocean, is vast and filled with endless possibilities.
My heart races as if trying to outrun the crashing waves. I glance down at the ring on my finger, its diamond winking at me with each golden ray of sunset. The weight of Percival’s arms around me feels like a warm embrace from the universe itself.
“Spencer,” he whispers into my ear, his voice gentle and full of love. “I promise you, we’ll have the most amazing life together.”
“Are you sure?” I ask, unable to contain my own smile. “Even with my hearing issue?”
“Especially because of it,” he replies with a grin. “Life is never boring when you’re around.”
We share a laugh, the sound mixing with the music of the ocean and the wind. I can’t help but take in the beauty of this moment – the tangerine sky, the salty scent of the sea, and the taste of Percival’s love like honey on my lips.
“Thank you for saying yes,” he murmurs, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead. “You’ve made me the happiest man alive.”
“Thank you for asking,” I reply, my voice thick with emotion. “I can’t wait to be your wife.”
