Chapter 71 Yes, I Accept!

• KATE
• His gaze hypnotizes me, and I hold his hand, helping him stand. I'm crying like a child, a sensitivity that seems to grow with each moment. I extend my hand, and Taylor delicately places the ring on my finger. The tears flow freely now, a mix of joy, uncertainty, and hope. “Yes, Taylor, yes!” I respond, my voice choked with emotion.
• He slides the ring onto my finger, and the sparkle of the jewel seems to reflect not just the light but the love surrounding us. Applause breaks out around us, congratulating the proposal. I smile, feeling a bit shy in the spotlight. His lips touch mine with tenderness, and as our foreheads rest against each other, we share a few seconds just listening to our breathing. “Now we’re officially engaged, my love. Thank you for facing all this with me.” My fingers stroke the back of his neck as I meet his intense gaze.
