*Y/n's POV*

My doorbell rang, ushering me to the front door. 

On the ground was another package from Shawn. He was away on tour and almost every day that he had been gone, I had been getting small packages from him. In every one of them there was always a red rose and a small slip of paper with a letter of the alphabet on it.

I guess I didn't really know it was from Shawn. Every time I brought it up to him over the phone, he would change the subject, but based on the cute handwriting that I recognized and how charming I knew Shawn was, I knew they were from him.

I set the box down on the table inside and opened it, revealing the familiar rose which I put with the other thirteen of them.

However, under the usual slip of paper, there was a written note that read:

Hi baby girl. I know I'm not with you right now, but I wanted to ask you something. All you have to do is put together the letters. I know you can do it, your're the smartest person I've ever met. And the most beautiful. Lots of love from miles away, -Shawn xoxo

Smiling brightly at his words even though he wasn't here, I got all fourteen letters together, my curious mind thinking.

I spread out each one in front of me. They didn't come in any particular order and what I had was: E M Y R R A M U O Y L L I W.

I stared at them for a few minutes, trying to switch around letters to make anything, but nothing clicked.

"I can just feel the smirk on your face right now, Shawn," I said to myself, "Why can't I figure this out?'

Feeling kind of stupid and frustrated, I picked up all of the notes, put them in my bag and headed out to the park. 

It was a nice day outside with just a slight breeze, making it cool and inviting. I sat down on a bench, plenty of fall-colored trees around me as i flipped through the pieces of paper, thinking.

That's when an idea hit me. It felt like a total "duh why didn't you realize this earlier" moment.

What if all you were supposed to do was put arrange the letters backwards?

I did exactly that, feeling like I was finally getting to something as words started to form.

One word. Will

Then another. You

My heart beat faster at the third. Marry. Could this really be happening?

The last one came easily with only two letters left. Me

Realizing what was happening, I put my hand over my mouth and looked up to see someone only a few feet away.

It was Shawn. In person. Not on what seemed like a whole different planet as I thought.

He was dressed nicely, holding a bouquet of flowers, and his smile grew ten times bigger as I ran up to him, tears starting to fall down my cheeks.

I took the flowers and hugged him quickly before he got down on one knee and took out the ring.

"Y/f/n (your full name)," Shawn took a deep breath, "I've loved you for longer than I can remember. Even when I thought you barely even knew that I existed, you were still always the shining star of my day. And when I finally got to hold you and kiss you for the first time, it all felt like a dream. And it still does. You are my happiness, Y/n, and I never want that to change. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes, of course yes!" I squealed and he slipped the ring on my finger. I jumped into his arms as he spun me around.

I kissed him passionately, "I love you."

He looked into my eyes in amazement, "I will never get tired of hearing those three words."
