The skin on her cheek blushed.
Hush!
Silence fell upon two heartbeats.
Were their rhythms in time?
His eyes glazed with worry and hope.
Was he wrong?
Lost his nerve, now declaration spoke.
Her cherry glossed lips paused in pout
then parted.
With the exhale, a single word
formed in the air.
An exuberant YES!
Room erupted in celebration,
as tears fell upon that reddened cheek,
only to be kissed away
to champagne bubbles and
a diamond slipped upon the hand.
