the proposal

to say that sean was nervous was an understatement,

this could make or break their future,

of course he'd still be in love with her if she said no, but god was he hoping she didn't.

if you want to go into detail about when he knew he wanted to marry her, well he'd known for years, but the one thing that solidified it, he couldn't really choose, it was multiple moments that added to his conclusion;

the one thing that assured him that he wanted her to be the woman he married and spent the rest of his life with, was when they were standing in his family's home, his childhood home, and he saw the way she interacted with them, how comfortable she was.

she volunteered to help his mother with a dish she had no idea of how to make, but you were crazy if you thought she wasn't going to learn, to help her to the best of her abilities, even if that is just washing the vegetables.

or maybe it was when she helped calm him before a performance, he felt like his heart was in his stomach, thousands of people, sitting, watching him, judging him for just breathing.

but she made sure he knew that he was okay, that she believed in him, that she loved him.

maybe it was when his younger family members had visited, and he saw the way she acted towards them, kind and collected, intrigued in them and their interest,

maybe it was the way she showed compassion and empathy to others,

or how she shared kindness with everyone she met,

or that she embraced all of her flaws

or that when she smiled, he saw rainbows,

or that she was the sun, his light down a long hall of darkness,

she was his purpose.

it was all of those reasons and more, that he loved her, that she just had to be his forever.

no one could tell him otherwise.

now he stood in a jewelry shop, staring at the different rings that the jewler had to show.

he hated them

they weren't his kaycee,

and he knew she'd hate them too, even if she was grateful, it'd be too much,

too expensive looking,

too attention- grabbing

now there was nothing wrong with that, for other people liked what they liked, but for them it was just too much, a ring that big wouldn't be a wise choice either, always getting in the way of her dancing.

he had yet to find the perfect ring,
and he was running out of time.

he had set himself a time limit,  to propose by this certain time, and so far, he was failing.

"do you have anything simpler?" he had asked the woman in front of him as she smiled with a tight lip, and he saw the frustration on her face.
