The Proposal (2)

As night fell, the lakeside garden was transformed into an enchanting, intimate setting. The strings of lanterns hanging between the cherry trees had been lit, shedding a warm, golden glow over the landscape. Their reflection danced romantically across the surface of the still, tranquil lake. The full moon shone brightly in the clear night sky, adding its own magical light. Inside the small open-air pavilion, a table for two was bathed in the flicker of candlelight. Rose petals were scattered across the tablecloth, and a bucket with a bottle of champagne sat nearby, ready to be popped open and enjoyed.
