The Surprise Proposal
For three years, Jessica had been my rock—funny, smart, and a little too organized in the cutest way. But a strange camaraderie between her and my best friend, Elone, who’d never really clicked with her before, began to set off alarms. From secret coffee shop meetings to whispered conversations and unexplained texts, my mind jumped to the worst conclusions.
It all came to a head at a friend’s wedding when I found Jessica and Elone locked in their own world, laughing like co-conspirators. Frustration boiling over, I confronted them, only to be interrupted by Jessica at the mic, calling me to the front.
To my shock, she knelt before the crowd, holding a ring. “Will you marry me?” she asked, her voice trembling with emotion. Stunned, I said, “Yes,” as cheers erupted.
Later, Jessica confessed: she and Elone had been secretly planning the perfect proposal. The suspicious meetings? They were ring shopping.
As doubts melted into laughter, I realized how lucky I was—to have her love and a best friend who’d help her make it unforgettable. “Let’s start forever,” I told her, and I meant every word.
