Standing on a jagged shale outcropping, I gazed out at the glistening aqua water and pretended not to notice Ryan was fiddling with his camera (even more than usual). He had asked me to go "stand in the shot" because his camera was having trouble focusing, but I knew something was up. As I looked at the pristine peaks and windy waves, I realized what a stunning spot we were in. When I looked back, Ryan was kneeling on the sharp stones with a little wooden box in his hands. He asked me if we could go on all the rest of our adventures together. In the most beautiful spot of the most incredible park, I said, "YES!"
