I blinked against the light as Jessica grabbed a microphone.
“Could you please join me up here?” she said, motioning toward the front of the venue.
My stomach dropped. Was she about to break up with me? Announce she was moving away? I could barely breathe.
“Just tell me what’s going on,” I said, feeling hundreds of eyes on me.
Jessica’s voice softened. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can’t imagine my life without you.”
Then—she dropped to one knee, opened a small velvet box, and held up a ring.
“Will you marry me?”
Everything froze. Jessica—who always teased me about being too romantic—was proposing to me at a wedding. Elone grinned wildly from the crowd, mouthing, Bro, say something!
I finally managed to choke out, “Yes! Yes, I will!”
The room exploded with cheers as Jessica threw her arms around me.
“Surprise?” she whispered.
“Best one ever,” I said.
Later, when the guests drifted away, I raised an eyebrow at her. “So…you and Elone?”
She laughed. “We were ring shopping. That’s what all the secret coffee dates were about.”
Elone joined us, smirking. “You’re welcome, by the way.”
Relief washed through me. I pulled them both into a hug, grateful for the two people who meant the most to me—and for a surprise I would never forget.
