My heart was racing as Claire and I enjoyed a romantic dinner at our favorite Italian bistro.
My heart was racing as Claire and I enjoyed a romantic dinner at our favorite Italian bistro. It had been one year since our first date in this restaurant, and I knew tonight was the night I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. As we chatted between bites of pasta, reminiscing about memories from the past year, I could hardly focus because of my plan. When our server brought over a slice of tiramisu for dessert, I knew it was my moment. I stood up nervously. Getting down on one knee, I opened the small box to reveal my ring, I blurted out my rehearsed words. Around us, the chatter in the restaurant seemed to fade into silence. By the time I finished, happy tears were streaming down Claire's face as she nodded vigorously. In that perfect moment, my heart had never felt more full of joy.
