“You’ve always had a knack for ruining my plans, no matter how well laid out they might be. Today is no exception, and though it shouldn’t surprise me, it did. You both surprised and delighted me. You’ve always had that effect on me. Your beauty, your intellect, your heart, none of it ever ceases to surprise me. I don’t think it ever will. I always hoped I’d get to ask you to marry me one day, and if I did, I knew it’d be here, where it all started. You’ve been my first in every way that matters, and I want you to be every last, too.”
