Their careers put them in the public eye, and the public eye could be very critical and harsh...

But it was Sander...

And now he was shaking his head. Her inner turmoil quieted and she listened to what he was saying. A promise ring. She felt everything relax within her and she smiled at her boyfriend. "You know you didn't need to get a ring for that," she murmured, her voice hoarse. "I know..." her throat caught. "I know you will be all of that and more," she whispered, smiling at him.

She wasn't able to speak at his question, she was so happy. It filled her to the brim, and while she knew Sander was waiting for an answer, but it took her a moment before she was finally able to get out "Yes!" She jumped forward, pushing aside all of her aching joints, as she jumped forward to wrap her arms around Sander. "A thousand times yes!" she exclaimed, hugging him tight.


Sander didn't even realize he was holding his breath until he began to feel faint. He was waiting anxiously for Tessa to answer...which she was taking her time to do. Yet he knew it wasn't something to rush into and the decision had to be well thought out. Even if it was just a promise ring, it still involved making a commitment and that was not something to be rushed into.

He searched her face trying to see whether he could see any hint of what she was thinking. Then she smiled and Sander knew that everything was going to be okay. He quickly got to his feet and when she jumped forwards and wrapped her arms around him, Sander gladly met her, wrapping his arms around her. He swung her around, while at the same, laughing joyously.

Yes. She had said yes. The realization dawned on him and that knowledge almost brought him to his knees again. Sander slowly placed Tessa back on her feet, took her hand and slipped the ring onto her ring finger. Then he bent down to kiss it before looking back up to face Tessa. There were tears brimming in his eyes too. Tears of joy. He reached up and cupped her head with both his hands, bringing her closer to him.

"I love you, Tessa. Thank you for accepting my ring," Sander whispered to his girlfriend before leaning forward and kissing her softly on the lips.
