I couldn’t see Lola’s face, but I knew she would have a confused look on her face. I hit record while Ryland used his phone to take photos. Ben dropped down on one knee, and Lola squealed the second he did. We moved in closer since she knew what was going on.
“Lola, I have been thinking about doing this for a while but couldn’t find the nerve until now. I know we are still young, but you are the only one I want to be with and spend the rest of my life with. Lola, I love you. Will you marry me” You could hear the emotion in his voice, and I swear there were tears in his eyes. Ben opened the ring box, held it out and waited for her answer.
“Yes! Oh my God, yes!” she sobbed, extending her left hand, and Ben slipped the ring on her finger. The moment he got to his feet Lola jumped on him, wrapping herself around him, kissing him over and over.
