“Will you marry me?” Marshal asked. He was down on one knee,
offering a glittering band nestled in a black velvet case.
Sage stared into the eyes of her soon-to-be fiancé. As she stood under the
stage lights, beads of sweat built up on her forehead as Marshal waited for
her answer.
Marshal was an arguably attractive man. His surgically repaired eyesight
allowed his hazel eyes to shine without the hindrance of the large frames he’d
sported in college. The bright ring lights, which helped illuminate the live
feed of his social media, outlined Marshal’s irises. The proposal was a timed
dance, planned down to the minute to ensure it appeared both spontaneous
and whimsical. The only thing not previously orchestrated at this moment
was the sting of tears in the corner of Sage’s eyes, threatening but not ready
to spill over as she tried to swallow her emotions.
Her mind filled with memories of the first time she’d found herself in this
position. The love of her life down on one knee, asking for forever. Closing
her eyes, she pulled the memory close to her chest and summoned years of
acting to whisper the three letters everyone in the shadows was waiting to
hear.
“Yes,” Sage finally choked out before Marshal scrambled up to wrap his
arms around her and twirl them across the shiny ballroom floor.
Flashes burst from cameras near them as everyone in the shadows
captured the moment.
“You had me worried there. Thought you were going to say no for a
second.” Marshal’s words pierced her heart.
“I wouldn’t do that to you. We’re in this together.” Sage’s voice cracked
with emotion on the last word.
Before Marshal could respond, someone walked up to their little circle,
wrapping long arms around them both. Sage stiffened until the calming scent
of mint helped identify the person. “That was fabulous. You two will light up
the black and white photos in the newspapers. Friday’s papers will hold the
announcements. Local news will be huge, but I also foresee national outlets
commenting on this, especially if it’s a slow news day.”
Ivan, Marshal’s assistant, time manager, and general Marshal-herder,
barely took a breath as they disentangled from the couple and went back to
fiddling on their ever-present phone. Sage stared at the device, wondering
when it or Ivan’s fingers would start smoking.
“Just a few more photos, right this way.” Ivan finally put the phone away
long enough to gesture to the side where a fidgeting photographer waited for
the couple.
