He held her

Kai drove his sleek black car toward a meadow a little farther up the mountain. It was nearly sunset but it was still warm enough for no coats. He had Lorelei dress nicer but not too formal. She looked breathtaking as always and he was in a nicer outfit too but not a tux. He had taken her to a cat cafe for food before driving here. It seemed perfect as he got out adn opened her door. He'd really tried his best to make sure she hadn't suspected too much by keeping her distracted. He walked her over to the spot that overlooked the bay and the mountains in the distance. After a bit, he got down onto one knee and smiled at her, ring box in his hand. It was dark blue and looked like a book, the edges gold.

"Lorelei Bonetti. I have loved you since the first day I saw you. I have protected you, loved you, helped you, and likely annoyed you a bit too" He said, nervously chuckling. "Would you do the most gracious honor of marrying me and becoming my wife?"

...

"Thank you, darling" He said softly, relief on his features. He placed the ring on her finger and kissed her. "My beautful fiance"

...

"I love you"

...

"my beautiful girl" he murmured, pecking her lips again.
