Jake woke up early, excitement and nerves swirling inside him. The day had come—the day he’d been planning for weeks. He grabbed his phone and called Camelia, pacing anxiously as the phone rang. "Jake! Big day, huh?" Camelia answered with her usual cheerful tone. "Yeah, it is," Jake replied, his voice tight with anticipation. "You got everything ready?" "Of course, I’ve got the ring right here. It’s stunning. She’s going to love it," Camelia said confidently. Jake smiled, relieved. "I knew I could trust you, Camelia. You always come through." "I try!" Camelia laughed. "Just don’t forget the speech, and you’ll be fine. Good luck, Jake. Today’s going to be perfect." "Thanks, Camelia. you're the best," he said before hanging up.
