Dante's grip on my hand tightened as if seeking support and finding solace in our connection.
At that moment, I knew we were in this together.
*******
Meeting up with Jessie was a breath of fresh air.
Amidst the chaos of my daily life, it was a much-needed escape to spend time with a dear friend.
As we settled down in a cozy cafe, I felt a sense of comfort wash over me.
"Angela!" Jessie exclaimed with a bright smile on her face.
I returned her smile.
As we sat down, Jessie beamed with excitement and reached into her pocket.
My curiosity piqued, and I watched as she pulled out a small box, her eyes shining with joy.
My heart skipped a beat as she revealed an exquisite engagement ring.
"Angela, guess what?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of happiness and disbelief.
"Vito proposed, and I said yes!"
A surge of exhilaration washed over me, and I couldn't contain my excitement.
"Oh my goodness, Jessie! That's amazing! Congratulations!" I exclaimed, reaching out to examine the ring, which glistened beautifully in the sunlight.
As we admired the ring together, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
While I was genuinely thrilled for Jessie, a part of me was also taken aback by the swiftness of their engagement.
I had always believed in taking time to build a solid foundation in a relationship before taking such a significant step.
"Jessie, it all happened so quickly," I said, my voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.
"Are you sure this is the right decision?
I'm genuinely happy for you, but I can't help but wonder about the timing."
She smiled, her eyes filled with confidence.
"Angela, life is too short to waste time. When you know, you just know. Vito and I have been through so much together, and we've reached a point where we're ready to take this next step. We've discussed our future, our dreams, and our goals, and we're completely aligned. It feels right. Besides, who knows when next I’ll be kidnapped? Might as well get married now."
I rolled my eyes at her dark humor, which I did not appreciate.
However, her words resonated with me, and I nodded, understanding her perspective.
Love and relationships were complex, and what mattered most was the connection, trust, and shared vision between two people.
"You're right," I replied with genuine warmth in my voice.
"Timing is a personal choice, and if you and Vito are confident in your love and commitment, then I couldn't be happier for you both. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world."
We spent the rest of the day immersed in wedding talk, exchanging ideas, and envisioning the beautiful celebration that awaited Jessie and Vito.
The excitement and joy were infectious, and as we shared laughter and dreams, I couldn't help but feel grateful for our friendship and the beautiful moments we were experiencing together.
