Mario met Jessica on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in a tiny neighborhood coffee shop tucked between a bookstore and a flower shop. He was drenched from forgetting his umbrella, and she was sipping a chai latte with a book in hand Their eyes met, and somehow, it felt like the sun peeked through the clouds just for them

A week later, after several flirty texts and one awkward phone call, Mario asked Jessica out. He took her to the city’s botanical gardens, figuring flowers and sunshine would suit her warm energy.They ended the day on a park bench sharing a strawberry ice cream cone and neither of them wanted the moment to end.

Two years later, on the same bench where they shared their first ice cream, Mario pulled out a small velvet box. “You’re my best adventure,” he whispered, “Will you be mine forever?” She nodded through happy sobs, and just like that, the girl by the window and the guy who slipped on the floor promised each other forever.
