The next morning, Jennifer and I got ready in the cute summer dresses we bought in Italy. They are really beautiful and feel like a second skin. They fall to my knees. After Italy, I've started liking knee-length dresses too, but maxi dresses are still my favorites.
Melissa was waiting for us in the living room.
"Morning..." Jennifer and I said cheerily in unison. The moment I woke up, I felt that old early zing in my veins. We are back to normal.
"Morning, girls! Jennifer and I are taking the Porsche. Arianna, you won't mind going with Marshall. He's our driver and will be here in a few minutes. I'm already late for the class," Melissa said, and I nodded.
I waited for Marshall for an hour in the driveway. I tried calling Mom and Jennifer, but they didn't answer. I understood Melissa taking Jennifer with her. Maybe they wanted to talk alone.

"Axel..." I whispered. I turned around to see him on his knees.
"I watched so many movies and YouTube proposal videos, Sweetheart. I had prepared a long monologue, but I forgot everything. So let's get to the end of the monologue. Will you marry me?" Axel asked. His hands were shaking, and so were mine. I was crying uncontrollably, and Axel was also tear-faced.
With shaky hands, he opened the ring box. The sun shone directly onto the wedding band. It was similar to the one I got him on my small budget.
I moved forward my trembling hand to accept his ring. Fresh happy tears rolled down his cheek when he saw I was wearing our wedding ring. He peered at me with a smile and showed me his other hand.
I gasped in astonishment.
