Simon Riley ²⁷

The warm light bathed the place, as well as the candlelight that made your beautiful features shine. You were in a luxurious restaurant with your boyfriend, Simon, it had been a while since the last time you had a real date, because his job took up too much of his time being a lieutenant at a military base. Although the conversation flowed with great ease, there was something else that caught your attention, in the distance, you saw another couple, how the boy gave a bouquet of flowers to his girlfriend, you had forgotten when was the last time Simon gave you something. Your boyfriend had noticed your distraction and looked at the same side as you observing the view, one of his hands moves under the table squeezing the pocket of his pants, feeling the small velvet box, an engagement ring. It was not just any gift, it was what would define their relationship, he wanted to take the next step.
