The world narrows to the warmth of your hand in mine and the cold, precious weight of the ring I just placed there. Golden hour bleeds across the secluded beach, turning the crashing waves into molten brass. My pulse hammers against my ribs, louder than the surf. With a shaky smile I can't contain, I lift my phone and call the one person whose approval means everything. Mom answers on the second ring, her voice laced with immediate concern. 'Yuki? Is everything alright?' I suck in a breath and let the words fly. 'Mom, I proposed to you.' The line goes silent, stretches thin, and then her scream of pure, unbridled joy erupts through the speaker. It's joined a second later by Dad's proud, booming voice from somewhere in the background, asking the only question that matters now.
