Aurora’s POV A small smile tugged at my lips. I lifted my gaze to meet his. “You… want me to be your girlfriend?” I whispered, my voice shaking with a mix of confusion and bubbling excitement. My heart raced so fast I could barely understand everything I was feeling. “Yes, Aurora,” he said softly. “I fell in love with you the moment I laid my eyes on you. So I thought… why don’t I just ask you to be mine?” He paused, searching my face. “I’ll understand if you want to think about it first.” A bright smile spread across my face before I could even think. “Yes! Yes, I will be your girlfriend,” I said, barely able to contain the joy spilling out of me. “Thank you,” he replied, a warm smile lighting up his own lips. My smile grew even bigger. “You just made me the happiest man on earth.”
