Chapter 7: The Proposal

It had been almost two years since Mia and Liam had started dating, and they were happier than ever. They had been through a lot together, and they knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Liam had been planning a surprise proposal for months. He had chosen a beautiful location, a secluded beach where they had spent many happy days together.

On the day of the proposal, Liam suggested that they take a walk on the beach. It was a beautiful day, and Mia had no idea what was about to happen.

As they walked, Liam took Mia's hand and stopped. He turned to her, and his eyes were shining with emotion.

"Mia," he said, his voice shaking slightly. "You are the love of my life, and I can't imagine my future without you. Will you marry me?"

Mia's eyes widened, and her hand flew to her mouth. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the man she loved.

"Yes," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "Yes, Liam, I will marry you."

Liam produced a beautiful ring from his pocket, and Mia gasped at its beauty. It was a diamond surrounded by smaller sapphires, and it sparkled in the sunlight.

As Liam slipped the ring onto Mia's finger, they both felt a rush of emotion. They hugged each other tightly, and Mia felt like her heart was overflowing with love.

They spent the rest of the day on the beach, enjoying each other's company and talking about their future together. They knew that they still had challenges ahead, but they were excited to face them together as a married couple.

For Mia and Liam, the proposal was a symbol of their love and commitment to each other. They were ready for the next chapter of their lives, and they knew that they would face it with joy and determination.
