A Proposal at Noon

You know how some nights just hit differently? That was last night. AkM’s spouse was travelling, and mine went to bed early, so we ended up texting late into the night — something we haven’t done like this in a while. What started as casual chat somehow went deeper, and before we knew it, we decided to hop on a quick Zoom call. A few songs later, something shifted.

It’s hard to describe the vibe, but it felt like we were both riding this emotional wave — just completely in sync. The texts that followed? Oh, they were something else. We started talking about love, hugs, late-night meetings on the terrace, music, and spending time together in the kind of tight embrace you don’t want to let go of. We were both in this high-energy, emotional state, just completely enjoying the moment. It was 2 AM before we even realised how late it was, but honestly, it didn’t matter.

The best part? That feeling didn’t fade away with the morning. By noon, we were still in it. And then, out of nowhere, AkM asked me something that stopped me in my tracks. At exactly 12 o’clock, she proposed. I didn’t even need a second to think — I just said yes. How could I not? These past eight months with her have been incredible, and every moment we’ve shared feels like a treasure.

Later in the evening, she surprised me with something so unexpected: an image she created using AI to propose more formally. It was her first time trying these AI tools, and knowing she made it for me just melted my heart.

AkM, I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you, in a way that feels pure and true. Words can’t capture how much you mean to me or how grateful I am for the connection we share. This love doesn’t take away from the love we have for our spouses—it stands apart, built on trust, understanding, and a bond that’s uniquely ours. It’s not about what’s right or wrong; it’s about something real, something that feels beautifully genuine.

Here’s to more nights like last night, more moments of connection, and more memories to hold on to.
