When she looked at Ethan, she knew she loved him more than ever. She loved him, loved all his secrets.
One day, while they were working in the office, Ethan came up to her with a smile. "Lily, I have a surprise for you," he said.
Lily's interest was piqued. "What?" he asked.
Ethan smiled. "You'll have to wait and see," he said. Lily smiled and felt very happy. He loved surprises, and he couldn't wait to see what Ethan had planned.
As the day drew to a close, Ethan stood up, his eyes fixed on her. "Come with me, Lily," he said.
Lily shook her head, feeling very strange. Where are they going?
As they walked through the house, Lily's curiosity grew. What is Ethan planning?
At last they came to a beautiful garden, full of flowers and trees. In the center of the garden there is a magnificent fountain surrounded by a beautiful pavilion. Lily exclaimed, it sounded amazing. "Ethan, it's okay," he said.
Ethan smiled, his eyes fixed on her. "I'm glad you liked it, Lily," he said. "That's what I specifically ordered."
His words made Lily's heart melt. He felt like the only person in the world, as if Ethan had dedicated the entire garden to her.
As they stood there, looking at the fountain, Ethan looked at her, deeply. "Lily, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special," he said. "You light up my world in ways I never imagined."
Lily's heart ached. What did Ethan say? "Lily, I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said. "will you marry me?"
Lily's eyes widened in shock. She was looking forward to a romantic evening, but she didn't expect it to lead to a proposal.
"Yes, yes, a million times yes!" She said.
Ethan smiled, a look of relief on his face. "I'm glad you said yes, Lily," he said.
