Can’t Win Me Back

His eyes were red.

Just a few steps away, Jonah stood in a smart, black formal outfit that matched Julien's.

He had an outstanding air about him.

Jonah had been wearing that outfit all along, concealed under his coat to keep it a surprise from Julien.

In that moment, even Julien, often dense to subtleties, grasped what was happening.

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.

Fireworks burst in the blue sky, adding the final touch to this romantic proposal.

Julien's eyes welled up.
