It had been only a day since they'd returned from Dauper, and Niccolo laid in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He carefully went over the game plan in his head, perfecting every detail. It was to be flawless. Today was not just any day, it was the day he'd have to ask a very important question. He was going to ask Sasha for her hand in marriage, and it had to be perfect. Of course, it was simply what someone as perfect as Sasha deserved. Niccolo was excited, of course. However, he couldn't help but feel so worried. '𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘦𝘴," a voice in his head said. '𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨?' Another voice said. Niccolo pounded his fist into the sheets. Finally, a third voice spoke. '𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵,' it said.
But, his heart belonged to the golden-eyed girl he loved.

Niccolo and Sasha stepped over the bushes, and ducked under branches, making their way to a certain clearing in the lush forest. Earlier, Niccolo had asked Sasha to come with him at dusk, and she cheerfully agreed. After running over different locations to take her, Niccolo had chosen the clearing in the woods which they had danced in. It was perfect.

They walked hand in hand, in silence, watching how the moons rays shifted. The night sky was clear tonight, and every shining star could be seen. Every constellation could be pointed out and admired, embedded in the clear terrestrial which fell upon them. Sasha seemed to be rather focused on where she was walking instead of where they were going. It was only until she looked up, and deep into the trees ahead of her, that she realised where Niccolo was taking her.

"You're taking me to the place I took you! I didn't think you'd remember where it was!" She exclaimed, her steps becoming bouncier.

"I would never forget. I thought this to be the best place to take you tonight," Niccolo replied.
They continued walking, eventually getting to a space of pale green grass surrounded by trees. It appeared luminescent in the glow of the moon, and 'twas perfect. Niccolo held out his arm, and Sasha gracefully leaned into it. Once again, Niccolo led a dance around the moonlit glade. It was like a panorama, a wonderful one. Niccolo stared deeply into Sasha's eyes, before admiring every other perfect part of her. She had let her hair down, and it tumbled down her shoulders in auburn waves. She was wearing a simple red blouse, and knee-length white skirt. Her eyes twinkled in the astral light, and her affectionate smile was as beautiful as ever.

"Niccolo? Is there something on my face?" Sasha asked, noticing the way he stared at her.

"No. It's just, you're so perfect," Niccolo said. Sasha gave a tiny chuckle.

"That's so sweet! But I'm far from perfect. I have imperfections and flaws, we all do. And, I've done horrible things, that can never be forgiven or changed."

"Well, you're perfect in my eyes, Sasha. You make me feel special. I don't deserve you." Sasha placed her index finger on his lips.

"Shh, don't ever say that. Don't say you don't deserve me, because you do," Sasha whispered as she moved her finger from his lips, and put her hand on his cheek. He did the same, gently leaning in, and placing a soft kiss on the other's lips.

The moment was serene, and peaceful. It was perfect.
'𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳,' Niccolo thought, as he slowly pulled away. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a red velvet box. He got down onto one knee, before opening the box, revealing a diamond encrusted ring.
