Sam's Pov
A loud sob bubbled from my throat as I stared at Avery, leaning forward and falling into her arms. I didn't have it in me to even answer her, I was frozen, my heart has never felt this way. My fingers gripped her shoulders and neck, as I cried into her.
"Oh, shit-" Avery exclaimed at the same time making me pull up to look at her and see the ring box on the sand now and her fingers finding the ring in the sand making me laugh.
"Sorry-" I choked out, before seeing her hold it and bring it to me again.
"Avery..." her arm held my waist while the other was in between us, holding the perfect, most beautiful ring I've seen in my life. I don't deserve her, oh my God, she's proposing to me. And I accused her of cheating yesterday? Oh my God.
"Babygirl, hey, look at me." I obeyed and looked into her bright green eyes which I fell in love with years ago.
"Avery, are you sure?" I voiced out softly and she looks at me surprised, before nodding.
"Yes darling, you mean about proposing? Of course." She says and I felt my heart being hugged with the amount of love I was feeling.
"Say, yes baby.." she trails off, leaning in to kiss me. I let my hand cradle her jaw, the answer at the tip of my tongue.
"Yes, Avery, god, a million times yes." With that, she kisses me even more and I melt. I'm marrying her, she wants to marry me, she freaking wants to marry me.
"Thank goddess." I hear her mumble in between our kiss which made my heart tug a little, was she worried I'd say no? I'd never say no.
We pulled back and I lift my hand, giggling embarrassed, as it trembled. Avery held it in hers, seeing hers tremble also somehow made me feel better, she was scared, anxious, we both are, but this is what we wanted. She slides the ring onto my left finger, and the smile grew on my face even wider. It's so fucking gorgeous.
"Oh thank heavens..." Avery heaves as it fits, so perfectly. I thought it was hard to get this right.
"Thank you," I say to her, not knowing for what exactly but it was almost for everything. She kisses my hand and cups my cheeks to kiss me again. I relish in this moment and held onto her as we kissed and kissed, sniffling and giggling in between.
"My fiancé," Avery mumbles, leaning her forehead on mine, gently as we stared into each other's eyes. I blushed at that. Fiancé. Jesus, we're engaged.

The music starts playing, a soft piano and violin, and Dad turns to me with a proud, happy smile and I return a shaky nod before we took our first step down the aisle.
