Four years had flown by in a whirlwind of career successes, shared dreams, and unwavering love for Layla and Ashton in the bustling streets of New York City. They had grown together, their bond deepening with every passing year, weathering life's storms and celebrating its victories side by side.
On a crisp autumn evening, Ashton had planned something special. He took Layla to a rooftop restaurant overlooking the iconic skyline, where the city lights twinkled like stars above them. They sat together, savoring each moment and reminiscing about their journey so far.
"Layla," Ashton began, his voice filled with a blend of nerves and excitement, "these past four years with you have been the best of my life. You've brought so much joy, love, and meaning into my world."
Layla smiled warmly, her heart swelling with love for the man who had become her rock, her confidant, her everything.
"Ashton," she replied softly, reaching across the table to take his hand in hers, "you've shown me what true love is. I can't imagine my life without you."
Ashton took a deep breath, his gaze locking with hers. "Layla, will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in Layla's eyes as she nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Yes, Ashton. Yes, a thousand times yes."
With trembling hands, Ashton slipped a sparkling diamond ring onto Layla's finger, sealing their promise of forever. The world around them seemed to fade away as they embraced, their hearts beating as one.
As they walked hand in hand through the streets of New York City that night, their love shining brighter than the city lights, Layla and Ashton knew that their journey together was only just beginning. They had found their forever in each other's arms, ready to face whatever the future held with courage, love, and unwavering commitment.
