The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of the blossoms, creating a picturesque setting for a conversation that would mark a significant turn in their lives.
"Emily," James began, his eyes fixed on the intertwining vines above them, "there's something I've been meaning to ask you."
Emily, her heart fluttering with anticipation, looked at James with a curious smile. "Ask away, James. You know there's nothing we can't talk about."
James took a deep breath, the weight of his emotions evident in the intensity of his gaze. "Emily, from the moment you entered this mansion, you've brought light and warmth into my life. I've come to realize that you are my greatest treasure, and I can't imagine my days without you."
A soft gasp escaped Emily's lips as she listened to James's heartfelt words. He continued, "Emily, will you make me the happiest man and agree to spend the rest of your life with me? Will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as a radiant smile spread across her face. "Yes, James, a thousand times yes!" She embraced him tightly, their laughter blending with the melody of the garden.
