Proposal on Fire

Tim Bradford had planned a hundred different ways to propose to Lucy Chen.

None of them involved being kidnapped.

When Tim and Lucy are taken from their home by masked men and dragged into the middle of nowhere, escaping is only the first battle. Because freedom doesn't last long when the desert around them is burning, smoke is swallowing the sky, and the fire is closing in from every direction.

With no way out and death getting closer by the second, Tim realizes there's no such thing as a perfect moment-only the person you can't imagine losing.

So in the middle of the flames, with Lucy terrified and the world burning down around them, Tim Bradford does the one thing Lucy never sees coming.

He drops to one knee.

Or... as close to one knee as possible when they're both covered in ash and seconds away from dying.

A kidnapping. A wildfire. A proposal in the middle of the firestorm.

Just another normal day for Chenford.
