The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow across our room. I stretched and turned to find Raven still asleep beside me, her dark hair fanned out on the pillow like a midnight halo. The sight of her peaceful expression filled me with a surge of love and determination. Today was the day I would propose to her.
I reached over and gently brushed a strand of hair from her face. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled sleepily at me. "Good morning," she murmured.
"Good morning," I replied, my heart swelling. "I have a surprise for you today."
Her curiosity was piqued. "A surprise? What kind of surprise?"
I winked at her. "You'll just have to wait and see."
