"I wanted to give you this yesterday but well." Shrugging his shoulders, he added, "I bought this for you as a welcome gift. I know this isn't permanent and you will have to move out in the future but I still wanted to cherish this moment with you."

Taking the box from his hand, she opened and gasped, "Honey, this is beautiful."
