She knew it was going to happen, wanted it to happen...and yet it still took her by surprise when she turned around and saw him holding the ring, stopping her in her tracks.

That was the one thing she loved about Ashley: she could see everything coming but him.

She was stunned, motionless, only for a moment before she strutted back across the stage and around to slide her arms around his neck with a smile. Stretching her left hand out in front of them in silent acceptance, waiting for him to slip the ring on her finger as she buried her face against his neck.
