Sliding her hand around the small, elegant box swathed in velvety material, Kerry let the tiniest hint of a smile play on her lips and the smallest touch of surprise widen her eyes. Carefully, as though holding a thread made of glass, she unfastened the golden, simple clasp on the front of the deep purple box and eased it open. Inside was a plain, silver ring with a small, perfect emerald planted in it. When she picked it up see it properly, Kerry noticed that inscribed on the inside in beautiful italics was "Together, forever. Kerry and James." She felt tears come to her eyes and slide down her cheek. She looked at the ring again, as if to reassure herself that it was real. After a minute or so, a pressure on her arm pulled her back to reality.
Kerry was sitting in the most expensive outdoor restaurant in town, on a fantastic summers eve and was about to make the biggest commitment of her life. Looking at James's face, his eyes sparkling, as his brown, wispy hair flicked in the breeze and a wearing a huge smile, she knew there was only one answer;
"Yes." She whispered. Promptly, she collapsed on his shoulder and broke down into tears. She didn't notice a waiter come up and mutter something to James, nor did she notice him mutter back and the waiter scurry off. When she recovered she started to laugh.
"I bet when you planned this you didn't expect me to cry!" she giggled and wiped her eyes on a hankie.
"Actually, I thought you might, so I prepared something extra, a little surprise." He grinned at her confused face and pointed at the sky. "Watch." He whispered.
Kerry stared at the sky and waited. Suddenly, a small flash appeared and dragged itself along the blackness, leaving a thin, golden trail. When it had written a good deal of words, it disappeared. First one burst of light sparkled and went out. Then another. Then another. In a huge explosion, all the writing lit up in massive golden letters.
I love you Kerry
A simple message, but more effective than any gift in the world.
Kerry started to cry again.
