#202 “You Can Save Your ‘Yes’ for the Next Time.”

As the engagement party swirled with laughter and joy, Alexander couldn’t shake the fluttering feeling in his chest. He stole glances at Sophia from across the room, his heart swelling with affection each time their eyes met. He knew he wanted to give her something special, something that would express the depth of his feelings for her.

Watching Sophia’s radiant smile and hearing her infectious laughter, Alexander felt a surge of gratitude wash over him. She had brought so much light and love into his life, and he couldn’t imagine spending it with anyone else. With each passing moment, his desire to show her how much she meant to him grew stronger.

As the evening wore on, Alexander found himself lost in thought, contemplating the perfect way to express his love for Sophia. He wanted to give her something meaningful, something that would symbolize their bond and the promises they had made to each other.
