The Proposal

Lena unfolded the note, her eyes scanning the neatly written words. It was a heartfelt letter, expressing his feelings for her and how much he cherished their time together.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she read his words, each one filled with genuine emotion.

" Ethan, this is beautiful," she whispered, looking up at him with a mix of awe and affection.

" Thank you " He stepped closer, gently wiping away her tears. "

I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me."Overwhelmed with emotion, Lena wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug.

"I feel the same way," she said, her voice muffled against his shoulder.

They swayed to the music, wrapped in each other's embrace, the rest of the world fading away.

As the night continued, they danced, laughed, and shared stories, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Later, as they took a break from dancing, Ethan led Lena outside to the school courtyard.

The night was clear, and the stars sparkled above them.

He reached into his pocket once more and pulled out a small, velvet box."Lena," he began, his voice soft and sincere.

"I know we’ve only just started this journey, but I want you to know how serious I am about us."

He opened the box to reveal a delicate silver necklace with a small, heart-shaped pendant. "Will you wear this, as a symbol of our promise to each other?"Lena’s heart swelled with emotion.

"Yes, Ethan. I’d love to," she said, her voice choked with happiness.

He fastened the necklace around her neck, and they shared a tender kiss under the stars, the promise of a bright future sparkling in their eyes.

First Date.....

The excitement of the school dance carried Lena and Ethan through the weekend. Monday morning arrived with a promise of new beginnings, and they couldn’t wait to spend more time together.

As they walked to school, they planned their first official date.“How about ice cream after school?” Ethan suggested, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

“That sounds perfect,” Lena agreed, smiling. “I know a great little ice cream shop nearby.”

The school day seemed to drag on forever, but finally, the last bell rang. Lena and Ethan met at the front gates, both beaming with anticipation. They walked to the ice cream shop, their conversation flowing easily, filled with laughter and shared stories.

The shop was cozy and charming, with pastel-colored walls and a delightful aroma of freshly made waffle cones.

They chose a booth by the window and perused the menu.

“What’s your favorite flavor?” Ethan asked, looking up from the menu.“Mint chocolate chip,” Lena replied without hesitation. “What about you?”“Cookies and cream,”

Ethan said with a grin. “Looks like we’ll have to try each other’s favorites.” They ordered their ice cream and chatted while they waited.

When their sundaes arrived, Ethan scooped a bit of his cookies and cream and offered it to Lena. She tasted it, her eyes lighting up with delight.
