Will You Marry Me?

Halia glanced down as Jackson opened the box in his hands. The little leather box looked vintage but it was kept in really good condition. In fact, the white satin fabric on the inside looked like it was still new. Sitting in the middle of the box was a sparkling diamond ring. Halia had never seen such a big sparkly diamond in her life.

Halia's mother passed away when she was still young and she had no female figures to look up to when she was growing up, so she was never interested in the things that other little girls liked, like clothes and jewelry. As a result, even though she had the money, a ring like the one that Jackson was holding was something she had never seen.

"This ring...it's beautiful..." Halia gasped in amazement as her heart melted.

"This is an heirloom passed down from my mother. She wanted me to give it to my wife," Jackson explained.

Halia's eyes became a little teary. How could this man give something so precious to her?
