The room was pitch black. She flipped the switch but no light appeared. She flicked it a few times to convince herself she wasn't hallucinating. She was about to call out when she noticed a faint glow coming from beneath another door. Crossing the room carefully she listened for a moment.
Hearing nothing unusual she opened it and gasped. Laid out on the floor was a path of candles. She felt something beneath her feet. Bending down she discovered rose petals. Removing her shoes she wiggled her toes and followed the course through the house and out to the garden. At the end of the trail was a bench encased in a wreath of heart-shaped candles.
As she bent down to put her shoes on the ground she noticed a small black box illuminated by the candlelight. With her heart in her throat she opened it only to discover it was empty. He chose that moment to make his presence known. She had to pause for a breath when she saw him. He smiled in that way that had melted her heart the first time she had ever laid eyes on him and got down on one knee.
"Marry me?"
