I quickly got ready and rushed to the restaurant, emotions swirling. He stood up as I approached, looking nervous.
“I’m so sorry for how I reacted,” he said, his voice filled with regret. “You were trying to do something beautiful, and I was horrible to you. I promise I’ll never take you for granted again.” I hugged him, eyes watery.
After that, right there in the restaurant, he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. “Will you marry me?” he asked. Tears of joy streamed down my face. “Yes,” I whispered, nodding. “Yes, of course, I will.”
The entire restaurant was filled with applause. For the first time in a long while, I felt that spark again. We spent the evening talking about our relationship, making a pact to surprise each other more often and communicate openly.
The following day, Mike’s boss called him into the office. Mr. Thompson had heard about the proposal. “Anyone who can inspire this kind of loyalty and love deserves to be in a leadership position,” he said. “Congratulations, Mike. You’re getting the promotion.”
That evening Mike came home with a big smile and swept me into his arms. “We did it,” he said. “We’re going to start this new chapter together, and I couldn’t be happier.”
Since then, our relationship has been stronger than ever. That dramatic incident reminded us of the importance of love, respect, and appreciation. If romance is slipping away, don’t be afraid to do something bold. Sometimes, a little drama can reignite the spark.
