Overjoyed, he let out a shriek.

Simultaneously, a bright streak shot up into the sky, blossoming into the words— Marry me! "Among a thousand roses, you are the only one in my heart." Jonah walked forward confidently, then knelt down, presenting a bouquet of the only bright red roses in the entire manor.

"T love you, Julien.
