I turned, and three waiters stood before us, each holding a tray with a large, covered plate. My jaw dropped, disbelief written across my face.
One stepped forward, bowing slightly. "Sir, Ma'am, we have a surprise. You'll see once you lift the covers."
Zein's hand slid around my waist, warm and steady, and his breath brushed my ear as he murmured, "Go on."

"Will you be my soulmate?"
I froze. My heart pounded, and my eyes immediately sought Zein's. His gaze was unwavering, full of tenderness and sincerity.
"Zein…" I whispered, voice barely audible.
