SAN --> DEN. 8.29.2019 A relationship would take flight tonight. The boy kindly interrupts the girl's reading to show her a sunset over Pacific Beach. The girl can no longer focus on her book. The girl finds the boy's Taylor Swift obsession to be very odd, yet attractive - confidence looks good on him. He draws laughter out of her with stories of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at OCS. She shares her love for music as they scroll through an eclectic list of past concerts. Her drink ticket is never collected. After 2+ hours of giggles and stories, the boy gets the girl's number and promises to share outing ideas for the Denver area. The girl promptly leaves the plane, looking back one last time at the fascinating boy. The story continues...

Her favorite place with her favorite people, that is the boy's plan. From the Pacific Northwest to the plains of Texas and all the mountains in between, the boy gathers the girl's inner circle. Exciting phone calls are made, travel plans are booked, a ring is forged. After welcoming two brand new beautiful nephews into the family, the day is a GO! Deception in the name of everlasting love, the boy enlists the girl's sister for a little help. The people gather as the sun sets and the beach awaits. It wouldn't be this girl and boy if they weren't a couple minutes behind schedule. The girl and boy approach a suspicious group NOT watching the sunset. The girl starts recognizing each silhouette...taking selfies... it all starts making sense. The boy takes a knee, the girl's tears of joy begin! "YES!" she proclaims as she turns to embrace her loved ones. She is so excited to celebrate that she forgets the ring. "Do you even want this thing?!" the boy yells. "OH YEAH!" She turns back to make it official.
