"Where are we going?" you asked, your breath creating a small cloud in front of you.
"You'll see!" Josh said giddily, continuing to lead you down the sidewalk.
You used your free hand to pull your jacket a little tighter around you. It was freezing outside, but Josh had insisted that you go for a walk through the city.
"Are we almost there?"
"Yes, it's right up here."
Just as he said that, a bridge leading out over the water came into view. Behind it, the lights of the city were twinkling. You stopped dead in your tracks.
"I've lived in this city my entire life and have never once been to this spot," you said.
Josh turned back to face you, "It's amazing, isn't it?"
You nodded, your mouth still hanging slightly open.
"C'mon," Josh smiled, tugging lightly on your hand.
You followed him as he led you out over the bridge. The sparkling lights of the city and being with Josh distracted you from the freezing cold all around you. Once you were about halfway across, Josh stopped walking and pulled you towards him.
"So why did you bring me here?" you asked, turning to look up at Josh.
"I'll tell you in a little bit," he said. "Let's just appreciate the lights for a bit."
You turned back to face the city and rested your head on Josh's shoulder. He moved his hand slowly up and down your arm. The two of you stood there quietly, listening to the sound of the water beneath you and looking out over the lights of the city.
After awhile, Josh finally broke the silence, "So do you want to know why I brought you here?"
"Yeah."
Josh stepped away from you, leaving one side of your body feeling significantly colder than the other. You turned to face him. He was fumbling around in one of his coat pockets.
"Josh?" you asked, a bit nervous.
Before you had the chance to say anything else, he was down on one knee. In his hands was a small box, holding the prettiest ring you had ever seen. Tears immediately filled your eyes.
"Y/N, would you do me the honor of being my actual wife?" he asked, smiling widely.
You nodded vigorously, "Of course, Josh."
He stood up and put the ring on your left hand. You immediately rushed into his arms, holding onto him tightly.
"I love you so much, Josh."
"I love you too, Y/N, but do you know what this means?"
You stepped back so that you could look at him.
"What?"
A smile spread across his face, "We're going back to Ohio."
