Chapter 112

Stella bolted onto the balcony with two boxes of stewed chicken in her hands, ready to give Mitch a piece of her mind. But then, something in the sky caught her eye

Barbara and I followed her out, and when we looked up, we saw a ton of drones in the night sky Each one was carrying a dazzling red rose, with lights twinkling above The drones were arranged into a neat heart shape

People from the nearby buildings were poking their heads out to catch this spectacle

I live on the third floor, se I could see the community garden from my balcony Tugging on Stella’s sleeve, I asked, That’s Mitch, isn’t it?

Stella leaned over the railing to look down Sure enough, there was Mitch, holding a big bouquet of flowers and wearing a suit, looking up at her.

Stella, marry me! The moment Mitch set his eyes on Stella, he immediately dropped to one knee.

Off in the distance, the figures of Neil, Russel, and Cooper were just visible in the shadows of the greenery. True friends, all of them were here to bear witness to this proposal

Stella had been on edge these past few days, worried sick about what she would do if Mitch didn’t want to marry her.

But Mitch’s move was a real gamechanger. He had literally flown here to propose to her.

Stella covered her mouth, her eyes welling up with tears, and then quickly ran downstairs. Barbara and I hurried to catch up

Stella, I’m sorry. This proposal was a spurofthemoment decision. I’m not familiar with this place, so I couldn’t give you a grander engagement ceremony. But I promise, if you agree to marry me, I’ll make it up to you with the perfect wedding once we’re back homeMitch was still on his single knee, and he looked really sincere.

I thought Stella would give Mitch a hard time, but she just laughed, grabbed the ring box from his hand, and slipped the ring on her finger.

Looking at the huge diamond sparkling on her finger, Mitch was grinning like a goof.
