Fairy lights twinkled overhead, strung across the trees like stars brought down to earth. In the center of it all , he knelt, holding a small velvet box in his hand, his voice, steady but filled with emotions.
" Marry me" , he whispered, his eyes searching hers for the answer he longed to hear.
For a Moment, the world seemed to hold its' breath . She stared at him ,her heart pounding in her chest , but her face betrayed nothing. Her dress, a colorfull blend of patterns, swayed gently in the breeze . Around them , their friends watched with bated breath , smiles already forming in their faces, but her smile, never came .

He opened his mouth to ask why, but she had already turned away, leaving him on his knees, the ring still gleaming in the dim light.
