You're at a beautiful rooftop garden, overlooking the city lights, with soft music playing in the background. You've been waiting there for a few minutes, admiring the view, when you feel someone's presence behind you.

Turning around, you see Nicholas, looking as handsome as ever in a dark, fitted suit, a hint of a smile on his lips as he takes you in. He's holding a small bouquet of your favorite flowers, a little bashful as he steps closer and offers them to you.

"For you," he says, his voice gentle. "Figured the night wouldn't be complete without them."

You take the flowers, smiling up at him. "You didn't have to, but thank you."

He just grins, slipping his hand into yours. "I wanted to. Tonight's special."

You feel a shiver of excitement, and he guides you to a cozy table set up just for the two of you, with flickering candles casting a warm glow over everything. You both settle in, the city lights twinkling like stars around you, and the conversation flows effortlessly. His laughter fills the air, and you feel like you're in a world of your own, just you and him.

After dinner, he stands and reaches out his hand. "Dance with me?"

You laugh, a little surprised. "Here?"

"Why not?" He gives you a playful look. "It's just us and the city."

You take his hand, letting him pull you close, his arms wrapping around your waist as you sway to the soft music. He holds you like you're the only person in the world, his gaze never leaving yours. Every time he looks at you, it feels like he's silently telling you everything he can't put into words.

As the song ends, he gently tilts your chin up, his face just inches from yours. "I've been waiting for the right moment," he whispers, his breath warm against your skin, "to tell you that I'm completely, undeniably crazy about you."

Your heart races, and before you can respond, he closes the distance, kissing you softly, his lips warm and gentle against yours. The world fades away, and all that's left is the feeling of his arms around you, his kiss full of promise.

When he pulls back, he rests his forehead against yours, a smile on his lips. "Let's make this a night we'll never forget." And as he holds you close, you know that this moment, this feeling, is one you'll carry with you forever.
