"It's not that." Lulu shrugged. "It's just you seem rather different today. That's all. Anything up?"
Samuel avoided her gaze. "I'm just in a good mood and thought that it'd be fun to hang out with
everyone."
"Sounds like fun!" Lulu playfully remarked, oblivious to Samuel's change in mood.
"Everyone, please take a seat," Samuel said, and once everyone had settled, he gave a nod to the
server to start bringing the dishes out.
Needless to say, they all enjoyed their meal so much that they lost track of time. And when Samuel
noticed that most of them were finishing up, he subtly nodded at a server.
Then, the ambient lights dimmed as soothing melodies filled the room. A lone spotlight highlighted an
empty area, giving it the look of an impromptu stage.
"Did you plan something special, Samuel?" Lulu asked with her brows raised.
Standing tall, Samuel then leaned forward and proffered his hand.
"June," he said, his voice smooth and deep. "Would you honor me with a dance?"
June's cheeks flushed red at that instant. "What are you up to?"
"Go on, June!" Lulu nudged her, and that was when June found herself standing up.
Samuel quickly grabbed June's hand, pulling her into a graceful twirl and straight into the spotlight.
As they danced, June whispered, "I thought this was just a casual dinner. Why all the theatrics?"
In response, Samuel flashed her a soft smile. "I’m just really happy tonight,"
Then, he continued leading her across the floor.
Watching the two dance, Lulu leaned in to whisper to Nicole, "Is it just me, or is Samuel acting a bit
odd?"
To that, Nicole nodded in agreement, and they exchanged a knowing glance. Just as they did, the lights
in the restaurant suddenly went out.
"Whoa!" June gasped in surprise.
Seizing the opportunity, Samuel quickly reeled her in and reassured her by saying, "It's okay. Just stay
calm."
"Why did the lights go out?" June wondered aloud, scanning the room.
"Over there," Samuel said, pointing to the right.
Turning her gaze to the direction he was pointing at, June spotted the soft glow of candles illuminating
a cake atop a rolling cart which was headed their way.
"What's this about? It's not anyone's birthday today," she asked, puzzled.
Before she could ponder further, however, Samuel presented her with a bouquet of roses.
Dropping to one knee, he then looked up at her with sincerity in his eyes and asked, "June, will you
marry me?"
At that moment, it all clicked for June; everything Samuel had done throughout the entire evening had
been leading up to this proposal.
"Who would've guessed Samuel had this side to him?" Lulu said, nudging Nicole forward. "You've got
to say yes, June!"
June always imagined that a proposal would be a special moment, but never in her wildest dreams had
she ever expected Samuel to plan something so heartwarming for her.
"June, will you marry me?" Samuel asked earnestly. "In front of everyone we love, I promise to cherish
you, always."
With tears in her eyes, June whispered, "I do." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Joyfully, Samuel handed June the bouquet and, without missing a beat, lifted her into the air with a
whirl. "June, you've made me the happiest man today!"
