Special Chapter: The Promise of Forever
The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold. Kael led Elira to their favorite quiet spot by the lake, where the gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers. The world felt still—just for them.
Kael took a deep breath, then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small velvet box, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Elira," he said softly, "you've been my anchor, my joy, and my greatest blessing. Every moment with you feels like a dream I never want to wake from."
He opened the box to reveal a delicate silver ring, shining with a single, sparkling gem.
"Will you marry me? Will you let me be the one to walk beside you, through every season, every storm, and every happiness?"
Elira's eyes filled with tears. She smiled, her heart full.
"Yes, Kael. I will."
Kael slipped the ring onto her finger. As their eyes met, the world seemed to hold its breath. Then, softly, Kael leaned in, and their lips met in a gentle, tender kiss — sealing their promise of forever under the fading light of the day.
"In your eyes, I've found my forever — a love worth every promise, every moment, every tomorrow."
