Presently seated across from his girlfriend, Bri felt the subtle weight of the box he had in his pants pocket. He was extremely nervous about asking her for her hand in marriage, but realized that he had to gather up enough courage. He reached across the table for her hand and lightly clasped it in his, which made her gaze flick up towards him.
"What's wrong, Bri?" she questioned gently.
"Nothing's wrong," he replied.
She lifted an eyebrow.
"We've been dating four years and the way you're acting right now tells me that something's up with you," she added.
He sighed and knew it was now or never, so he rose to his feet and he moved over to where she sat before getting down on one knee while he reached into his pants pocket for the ring box. Pulling it back out, he opened the lid, revealing the diamond ring that was inside. Blo gasped at seeing the engagement ring.
"Blo, you're the love of my life. Will you marry me?"
Tears shimmered in her eyes and she could only nod yes, overcome by his proposal. Bri smiled and took the ring out of its box before he slid it onto Blo's left third finger. Once he'd managed to ask Blo to marry him, Bri returned to his own seat.
Across from him, Blo was presently admiring the engagement ring that adorned her left third finger before she half rose from her seat and leaned across the table in order to kiss her fiancée. Seconds later, she pulled back and sat down in her seat again.
Line break
After he'd driven his fiancée home, Bri had walked her up to the front door of her apartment and gave her a good night kiss before he returned to his parked car and got into the driver's seat. Blo entered her apartment and her fiancée pulled away from the curb on his way back to his own apartment.
Blo knew she had the apartment to herself for the time being, since both her siblings were out with their respective boyfriends. But she had no idea that they'd also be proposed to that night or that they'd all plan on having a triple wedding ceremony in the next sevral months.
