"You're right. If it's my mom's special color, I know where we should start. Come on," Jayden declared excitedly, taking Deborah's hand to guide her along the garden path. They arrived at a large glass greenhouse filled with multicolored roses. In the center were garden furniture and a large wall with a pointing of a beautiful mountain landscape. "Look, this painting is her favorite because my dad made it and gave it to her on their first wedding anniversary." [it's beautiful.] Deborah admired the painting. Then she noticed something different. [Jayden, look in the lower right corner.]

Jayden looked and spotted a new envelope, which was green. "Good eye," he said with a smile as he took the envelope and opened it. "Let's see, next clue: For love, nothing better than a flower... but which flower is the right one?" [That's very specific]

"Well, not exactly. It's tricky because my mom loves roses, and as you can see, the entire garden is filled with roses of different colors and sizes."

[True... hmm... does she have any other favorite place besider

greenhouse?]

"Yes, there's a big rose bush there, and it's her favorite because I gave it to her on Mother's Day."

[Then let's check it out.]

Jayden smiled and took her hand again to lead her to the grand rose bush, the centerpiece of the garden. However, when they looked around, they didn't replace any envelope. "Nothing..."

[Hey love, does your mom have any other favorite flowers?]

"Not that I know of, roses are her passion."

[Well, I saw some hydrangeas near the dining room last time.]

"Oh yes, we have those flowers. She placed them there because a friend gave them to her, but I don't think

[Well, those are my favorite flowers. I like them because of the way the flowers bloom.]

Jayden thought about this and realized the clue made more sense now. The 'right flower wasn't that of his mother's but Deborah's. The dinner that night was for her after all. "Right, let's check those flowers, my love," he said with a smile as they walked to the dining room balcony.

Upon arrival, they carefully climbed the stairs, replaceing the area very dark-the moonlight was not enough to illuminate their vision.

"Wait, my love, I'll turn on the lights," Jayden said, searching for the switch on the wall but he was unable to replace it. "Ah... where is it?"

Just then, the lights turned on abruptly, momentarily blinding them. When their vision cleared, they saw that the balcony was decorated with light pillars and vine-style flowers. Flowers hung from the ceiling with the help of transparent wires, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere. In the center of the

balcony was a round table covered with a white tablecloth, decorated with a large vase of red and white hydrangeas.

The most eye-catching detail was the small black leather box next to the vase on the table, along with a plate and a golden napkin. [Wow...] Deborah was amazed, taking in every detail of the beautiful decoration that looked magical against the night sky.

Jayden was also surprised by the gorgeous setup. The place seemed magical and perfect, so he discreetly took the box, opened it quickly to see its contents, and smiled with satisfaction before closing it. He then walked over to take his beloved's hand-Deborah was still distracted by the decorations.

[Jayden, this...]

"You know," Jayden began, kneeling in front of Deborah, "even though we've been together for a short time as a couple, I believe it's more than enough for us to arrive at this moment. You've shown me that you're an amazingly wonderful woman and I want to spend the rest of my life by your side. Today, you surprised me by asking me to be James's dad, confirming my desire to start a family with you. So..." Jayden said, opening the leather box to reveal a beautiful white gold ring with a diamond in the center. Deborah Anderson, will you marry me?"
