My sweet talk is just for you and no one else." Colby put on a mock sad face, making Sophie laugh.

Colby had decorated the place with neon lights, adding a cozy charm to the night.
Sophie asked, "When did you set all this up?"
"I've been planning it for a while... just hadn't had the chance to bũng you here yet. Sophie walked into the courtyard, behind which lay a vast natural lake with a newly crafted wooden boat.

There were no schemes, no darkness here just a cozy little home.

"Sophie, will you marry me?" Colby's voice was deep and resonant.
He had always wanted to bring her here, but Lennon was insistent on having an engagement party, so he hadn't been able to speak his heart earlier. He knew that the so-called engagement party was just for show, while this place was the engagement ceremony he had prepared for Sophie.
