The evening air was warm, and the golden hues of the setting sun threw a warm glow over all. Olivia had been planning this surprise for weeks, laboriously thinking through every aspect. She wanted to show Liam just how much she loved him, and as the moment approached, her heart thudded with anticipation.

She had set up a snug little arrangement in their backyard. Fairy lights twinkled above, casting a magical ambiance on the table for two. Soft music filled the air, and a small candle flickered in the center of the table, its shadows dancing like fleeting moments of love. A sumptuous dinner was laid out, prepared by her own hands, each dish a reflection of how much she cared for and loved Liam.

As Liam stepped out, he was momentarily stumped by the beautiful vision that greeted his eyes. His eyes widened as he took in the romantic setup, and his heart swelled with appreciation.

"Olivia… this is incredible," he said, his voice filled with awe.
