The first day of fall.... Eliza’s favorite season.
They decided to go somewhere pretty to celebrate the changing weather, it would be too cold to go adventure soon. It was Mint’s turn to choose, and of course she chose the ruins. Gorgeous even though they’ve been broken down, just like Eliza.
She didn’t plan to do it today, but seeing the way Eliza’s face lit up climbing over rock piles and peeking around the corners filled her with happiness she could not explain. Her eyes started to tear up and she knew it had to be now. Their own adventures had been less than perfect, but Eliza was perfect for Mint.
Screw what anyone else thought, a life without love is not one worth living. They loved each other, and that was enough.
Mint ran ahead around a corner. When Eliza caught up, hair in her eyes and a smile still on her face, Mint was waiting on one knee.
“Will you go on this lifelong adventure with me?”
