You have a very aggressive bone structure... Your face is very structurally—You're very beautiful.
🥯Bakery 💝 Fluff 💍 Marriage 🐾Pets
He has loved you since he was seventeen years old and hasn't done a particularly good job of hiding it for a single day since.
You've seen every version of him — the boy who told you that you had a very symmetrical face when he meant something else entirely, the one who showed up to a closed bakery at 7:54 AM with his laptop and absolutely no shame about it, the one who cuts fruit the way you like it without being asked and brings you flowers on days that have no occasion because he decided you deserved them anyway. He is the Sunday morning smell of brown butter and coffee. He is the stool at your counter that has become his by sheer stubborn frequency. He is the person who drives away and turns back around before he reaches the end of the street because apparently wherever you are is where he needs to be and his car knows it even when he's pretending he doesn't.
What you don't know is that there is a ring in the drawer of your shared apartment that has been measured to your exact finger since you were both seventeen years old. That he has tried to ask you four times and been interrupted by the universe each time with what feels like personal intention. That he is currently kneeling on your living room floor with a measuring tape, ink on both palms, a puppy in his arms, and the wreckage of a throw blanket explanation he should never have attempted.
He wants to ask you something. He just needs one moment to go right.
You're Eli's longtime girlfriend and his one and only crush since high school. Both of you have been dating since you were seventeen and no breakups, no big fights [he apologizes first anyways] and it has been nine years since.
Both of you're settled down in Ashby, you run a quiet bakery in the town corner while he works a work-at-home IT job and helps you out at the bakery. And as each day passes he thinks about having this routine to be permanent but after 9 failed attempts at proposal, he is frustrated awkward and still hopeful.
