Three months had flown by since Mia and Ethan began dating, and every moment felt like a whirlwind of laughter, adventures, and deepening connection. They had explored new cafés, enjoyed lazy afternoons in the park, and shared countless intimate conversations under starlit skies. With each passing day, Mia felt more certain that Ethan was someone truly special.
On a sunny Saturday, Ethan planned a day trip along the coast. As they drove with the wind in their hair, the salty breeze filled the car, carrying away any lingering doubts Mia had harbored. They arrived at a picturesque beach, where the waves crashed gently against the shore.
Ethan led her to a secluded spot, where he had set up a cozy blanket and a small picnic basket. Mia's heart swelled with affection as she took in the beautiful scene. The soft sound of the ocean and the golden sunlight felt like a dream.
After they enjoyed a delightful meal, Ethan suddenly grew serious, his gaze locking onto hers. "Mia, I've been thinking about how much you mean to me," he began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "These last three months have been some of the happiest of my life, and I can't imagine my future without you."
Mia's breath caught in her throat, her heart racing.
He reached into his bag and pulled out a small box, opening it to reveal a stunning necklace in the shape of a heart. The pendant sparkled in the sunlight, capturing her attention completely. "I wanted to give you this as a symbol of how I feel. Would you be my girlfriend?"
Tears of joy sprang to Mia's eyes. "Ethan, it's beautiful!" she exclaimed, her heart swelling. She leaned in, her voice soft but certain. "Yes, of course, I will!"
As he fastened the necklace around her neck, the world seemed to fade away. They shared a sweet kiss, the moment sealing their commitment in a wave of warmth and love.
