The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden hue over the beach as Lexi arrived at Andrew's house. She had spent the day with her friends, excited for a casual evening at Andrew's place. But when she walked through the door, she was met with an unexpected sight—Andrew was nowhere to be found.

Instead, her friends, including Brent, Pierson, and Dom, greeted her with playful smiles and knowing glances.

"Hey, Lexi!" Brent called out, his grin wide. "We've got something for you."

Lexi raised an eyebrow, a mix of curiosity and confusion crossing her face. "Something for me? Where's Andrew?"

Pierson handed Lexi a neatly folded envelope. "He left this for you. It's part of a little scavenger hunt he set up."

Lexi took the envelope, her curiosity piqued. "A scavenger hunt? For what?"

"Just open it and find out," Dom said with a wink. "It's a fun surprise."

Lexi carefully opened the envelope and pulled out a card with a riddle written in elegant handwriting:

**"To find your prize, you must begin, 
In a place where laughter and love always win. 
The next clue awaits where memories reside, 
Look for a spot where you're often beside."**

Lexi thought for a moment, trying to decipher the riddle. It made her think of places that were special to them, and then it hit her—the first clue must be at Andrew's favorite coffee shop, a place they had spent many afternoons together.

With a determined smile, Lexi said goodbye to her friends and headed to the coffee shop. As she walked in, she saw a small envelope waiting for her at the counter. She picked it up and opened it, finding another riddle:

**"You're getting closer, that's for sure, 
But one more step you must endure. 
Go where laughter echoes and friends are near, 
Your next clue waits where joy is clear."**

Lexi's heart raced as she thought of their favorite park, a place where they often hung out with friends. She hurried there, scanning the area for any sign of the next envelope. At the park's central fountain, she found another envelope taped to the edge.

She opened it with shaking hands, revealing yet another riddle:

**"The final clue is close at hand, 
To a place where the sea meets the sand. 
As the sun sets, let the waves guide you, 
Where you'll find a surprise that's true."**

The beach. Lexi's heart skipped a beat. She knew exactly where this was leading her. Excitement and nerves mingled as she made her way to the beach, the sun just beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a soft glow over the waves.

When she arrived, the scene was breathtaking. The beach was decorated with fairy lights strung between palm trees and a trail of candles leading down to the water. A path of rose petals guided her along, and as she followed it, her heart fluttered with anticipation.

At the end of the path, standing on a secluded part of the beach with the ocean as the backdrop, was Andrew. He was waiting, his eyes filled with love and a hint of nervousness. He was dressed in a sharp suit, and beside him was a small table with a ring box resting on it.

Lexi's breath caught in her throat as she approached him. Andrew smiled warmly, his eyes locking onto hers. "Lexi, you've followed every clue perfectly. I wanted to make this as special as possible, because you mean the world to me."

He took her hands in his, his voice trembling slightly as he continued. "You've been my rock, my love, and my best friend. I can't imagine my life without you. So, Lexi Brooke Rivera, will you marry me?"

Andrew opened the ring box, revealing a stunning diamond ring that sparkled in the fading light. Lexi's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the ring, then back at Andrew. Her heart was overflowing with love and joy.

"Yes, Andrew!" she exclaimed, her voice choked with emotion. "Yes, I'll marry you!"

Andrew slipped the ring onto her finger, his face lighting up with relief and happiness. He pulled her into a tight embrace, lifting her off the ground as they kissed passionately.

As the sun set behind them, casting a beautiful array of colors across the sky, they stood on the beach, wrapped in each other's arms. The waves gently lapped at the shore, the fairy lights twinkling around them, creating a perfect moment.

Their friends, who had been watching from a distance, came rushing over to congratulate them.

"Pierson, Liv, will you be my bridesmaids?" Lexi choked out through happy tears.

"OFC!" They shouted, and the three embraced.

"Who will be the maid of honor though!" Lexi asked.

"It should be Pier, you've known her longer Lex." Liv said. "I'll be happy supporting you as a bridesmaid."

"Oh Liv" Pierson cried. The the girls hugged again,
