He had been worried that her feelings were only gratitude and not love.

Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant dimmed and a cascade of colorful lights illuminated the space.

In an instant, the entire area transformed. Simone was surrounded by vibrant red

roses.

She covered her mouth in surprise at the unexpected setup.

Dustin rose from his seat, walked over to her, and knelt on one knee. In his hand was a small open box containing a dazzling diamond ring.

"Simone, will you marry me?" Dustin asked sincerely.

Simone gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes were wide in astonishment.

She had not expected him to propose right after they had just defined their relationship.

Was this not going too fast?

"Simone, I don't want to wait any longer. Will you marry me?" Dustin asked again in a hopeful voice.

"I..." Simone hesitated.

Dustin went right from confessing his feelings to proposing marriage. These were

far too sudden and left her completely unprepared.

She had not even fully processed the surprise of his confession yet.

But marriage? Should it not be carefully considered?

"Are you saying no?" Dustin sighed.

"No! I... I will!" she blurted out quickly.

She could not care less about the pace. If it meant marrying Dustin, she was more than willing.

She extended her hand, and Dustin gently slid the diamond ring onto her finger. He got up and pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly on the lips.

They were finally together, and their hearts were bursting with joy and excitement.

"From today onward, you're my fiancee," Dustin whispered tenderly as he tugged a strand of hair behind her ear.

"And you're my fiance..." Simone said as tears of happiness glistened in her eyes.
