It had been one year since the surprise engagement party that brought Rayleigh and Isabelle's families and friends together. The memories of that joyous celebration remained vivid in their minds.
In the year that followed, Rayleigh and Isabelle's lives settled into a comfortable routine. Isabelle continued to meet up with her close group of friends once or twice a month, depending on their schedules. She still worked five days a week but cherished the two days she could simply relax at home with Rayleigh.
For Rayleigh, the transition had been more significant. Before living with Isabelle, Rayleigh had been a workaholic, often spending long hours and even staying overnight at the hospital. However, after moving in with Isabelle, Rayleigh's priorities shifted. She now limited her time at the hospital to her scheduled shifts, eager to return home to her fiancée as soon as possible.
