Later that evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Lukas led Emma outside. The stars sparkled brightly above, and the cool evening breeze felt refreshing against her skin.

"Where are we going?" Emma asked, glancing up at him with curiosity.

"Just trust me," Lukas replied, his eyes twinkling.

They walked to a small clearing behind the barn, where a cozy setup awaited them—blankets spread out, fairy lights strung between the trees, and a small fire pit flickering gently.

"Surprise!" Lukas said, beaming with pride.

Emma gasped in delight. "This is amazing! How did you...?"

"I had a little help from Mia and my parents," he confessed. "I wanted to create a moment just for us—to celebrate the start of our new adventure together."

Emma felt her heart swell with love. "This is perfect, Lukas. Thank you."

As they sat down on the blankets, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories, Emma realized how blessed she was to have found someone who understood her dreams and supported her every step of the way.

"Here's to us," Lukas said, raising his marshmallow on a stick as if to toast. "And to all our adventures ahead."

Emma clinked her marshmallow against his with a smile. "To us."
