Everest sat underneath a tree in Adventure Bay Park, basking in the sunlight and taking in the lovely weather. A content smile adorned her muzzle as she felt her consciousness drifting off to dreamland....
"Hey,"
The Husky opened her eyes and looked to her left, revealing none other than her favorite pup in the world: Marshall! He had an awkward smile spread across his muzzle and seemed a little nervous.
"Hiya, Marshall!" Everest grinned. "Funny meeting you here! Were you coming out here to play or relax too?"
The Dalmatian stammered slightly in his response. "Uh-h-h k-kind of...." He shifted from paw to paw; the Husky raising an eyebrow at his behavior.
"Are you sure you're doing alright?" Everest asked with concern in her tone.
Marshall nodded awkwardly as he swallowed a lump in his throat. "Y-yeah. I j-just, uh...." He took a deep breath and unveiled a white rose he had hidden behind one of his front paws. He picked it up with his mouth and presented it the beautiful pup in front of him. "Thi iz hor oo." (This is for you)
Everest gasped lightly as a pink hue emitted from her cheeks. She got up and graciously accepted the flower, admiring the petals and intricate design.
"T-Thank you, Marshy! Gosh, you've got me all flustered now." the Husky blushed hard with a sweet smile spread across her muzzle.
Marshall felt a weight fall off his shoulders. "You're welcome. I thought of you when I saw it while out on a walk." The Husky caught him off guard by embracing him in a warm hug.
"Oooo, I love it!" Everest squealed as she squeezed him tight. "Thank you for thinking of me!" The two separated; the Dalmatian with blazing cheeks and the Husky placing the rose in her right ear.
"Hey, uh, I was thinking...." Everest began shyly, heart beating faster. "Since you're here, would you like to snug- I mean, sit under the tree I was just at?"
Marshall cocked an eyebrow at her proposal. "Sure! But did I hear 'sit', or were you trying to say something else?"
BUSTED!
