LOVE STORY
It was just another Tuesday at work—nothing special. But Jack, my boyfriend (now fiancé), was acting weird. He was super quiet, fidgeting with something in his pocket. I didn’t think much of it at first, just figured he was having a rough day.
After the meeting, he asked if we could meet in the break room. I thought it was about work, so I agreed.
When I walked in, there he was, standing by the coffee machine looking a little freaked out. His face was red, and he looked nervous. “Okay, I need to ask you something,” he said, taking a deep breath. My heart started racing, I had no idea what was coming.
Then, out of nowhere, he dropped to one knee. I froze. I couldn’t believe it, Jack was actually proposing in the office break room?
“Rose,” he said, voice shaking, “I can’t imagine life without you. Will you marry me?”
I just stood there for a second, trying to process it, and all I could say was, “YES!” I couldn’t stop smiling, and before I knew it, I was hugging him. Our coworkers were peeking around the corner, clearly confused, but it was perfect.
And this photo, it was taken by one of my coworkers right after the proposal. Honestly, I can’t think of a better shot that captures how happy I’ve ever been. Every time I look at it, I remember exactly how it felt.
