The Proposal

Chapter 14

“The Proposal”

Zibah and Alex stood hand in hand, gazing out at the city they had fought so hard to reclaim. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the rooftops and the bustling streets below.

Alex turned to Zibah, his eyes shining with a newfound intensity. "You know, I've been thinking... we've been through so much together, and I can't imagine facing any of it without you by my side."

Zibah's heart skipped a beat as she sensed where this was going. "I feel the same way, Alex. You're my partner in every sense of the word."

Alex smiled, taking a deep breath. "Zibah, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special. Your creativity, your passion, your heart... it all drew me in. And now, I can't imagine a future without you as my wife."

Tears of joy sprang to Zibah's eyes as Alex dropped to one knee, pulling out a small box containing a beautiful silver ring adorned with a tiny paintbrush.
