Chapter 78: The Fair Part 3

Maya's heart felt like it would burst from the overwhelming joy and love she felt in this moment. She had proposed to Carina, and she had said yes. They were going to spend the rest of their lives together as a married couple.

With a wide smile on her face, Maya pulled Carina into a deep, passionate kiss, sealing their engagement with a tangible expression of their love.

They broke the kiss, but they stayed in each other's arms, their foreheads touching as they shared the moment. Maya looked into Carina's eyes, her voice filled with a mix of tenderness and excitement. "I can't believe it. We're engaged, Carina. We're really doing this."

As they stood there, embracing each other and basking in the joy of their engagement, Maya's friends caught sight of them. The team had been patiently waiting for them at a slight distance, and now they approached them with elated expressions on their faces.

Andy was the first to speak up, her voice filled with genuine excitement. "Oh my god, I knew it! You guys are engaged!"

Vic chimed in, equally thrilled for the newly engaged couple. "This is amazing! Congratulations, you two!"

The rest of the team chimed in with their well-wishes and happy exclamations, their congratulations filling the night air. It seemed that everyone was overjoyed about Maya and Carina's engagement.

Carina's younger brother, Andrew, who had been patiently waiting with the rest of the team, approached the engaged couple with a heartfelt smile.

As he approached, he embraced Carina in a tight hug, his voice laced with emotions. "Dio mio, Carina, I'm so happy for you."

Carina returned his hug, her eyes shining with love and gratitude. "Thanks, fratellino."

Andrew then turned to Maya, offering her a genuine smile. "And, Maya, congratulations on such a well-crafted proposal. You've made my sister very happy."

Maya smiled back at Andrew, a mixture of relief and joy in her eyes. "Thank you, Andrew. Your sister means the world to me. I promise to take good care of her."

Andrew gave Maya a gentle pat on the back, his expression sincere. "I know you will."

The team gathered around them, sharing in the joy and creating a warm, supportive atmosphere. Their friendship and love for Maya and Carina were tangible, and they were all thrilled to witness this important milestone in their lives.

Vic looked at them and said "Can we go on the ferris wheel then can we get food."

Maya chuckled at Vic's excitement, appreciating her friend's enthusiasm. "Sure, Vic. Let's hit the ferris wheel first, then we can grab some food. Everyone up for it?"

The team enthusiastically nodded, excited to continue the celebration. They headed towards the ferris wheel, laughing and chatting along the way, their spirits high and filled with happiness.

As they waited in line for the ferris wheel, Carina leaned into Maya, her head resting on her fiancée's shoulder. "You know, I can't believe you planned all this. The proposal, the ferris wheel... It's perfect."

Maya wrapped her arm around Carina's waist, pulling her closer. "I wanted it to be special. And this seemed like the perfect place to do it."

She chuckled softly. "Plus, I knew you'd never say no to a ferris wheel ride."

Carina laughed, her eyes sparkling with love. "You know me too well, Bambina."

The team, still buzzing with excitement, joined in their conversation. Vic let out a playful sigh. "I swear, you two are disgustingly cute. It's adorable, but also somewhat nauseating."
