Lost Me Gained Regret

I'm a bit rusty with the guitar, haven't played in ages. "You're taking me?" I asked, puzzled yet intrigued.

Gregory gazed at me with such passion, "Of course."

I was still trying to wrap my head around it all, just going with the flow.

Somehow, Gregory suddenly stopped playing, and my mind wandered off, hitting a wrong note.

Before I could even utter an apology, fireworks suddenly erupted around the stage, lighting up the night sky.

Gregory knelt on one knee before me, lifting a ring, "Jane, even though you've proposed to me before, I still want to do this the right way."

"Some things are just meant for a man to do."

"Thank you for falling in love with me again, for being by my side through thick and thin, and for the hard work of bringing our daughter into this world." "So, please, let me take care of you for the rest of our lives."

"Jane, will you marry me?"

Marriage was already a foregone conclusion.

I had planned to celebrate my birthday and our daughter's first birthday, then visit my grandmother to share the news of our wedding.

I never expected Gregory to plan a proposal.

Even though we were so familiar with each other, knowing we were meant to be together forever, his proposal still moved me to tears.
