Birthdays, Picnics, and Promises - Lindsay Anderson - Bog

"Brett, this is amazing." Blakely gushed, taking a bite of her chocolate covered strawberry. "I could not think of a better birthday lunch than this right here."For her birthday lunch, Brett had treated her to a picnic at their old elementary school's playground. This same exact playground was the one that Brett and Blakely would play endless amounts of tag and four square on. As you can imagine, this school and playground held a special place in both Brett and Blakely's hearts.After all, this school is where they first met and became friends."I am truly glad that you like it." Brett smiled, wiping some chocolate away from Blakely's lips. Retrieving a jewelry box from his shorts pocket and handing it Blakely, Brett said, "Blakely, I love you more than anything in the entire world and promise to always be there for you.""I love you, too, Brett." Blakely whispered, kissing Brett on the lips. Her heart overcome with happiness and joy, Blakely opened the jewelry box. As she opened it, Blakely felt her heart stop. Inside the jewelry box was a silver band with a dark blue stone. Without having to guess what it was, Blakely immediately knew that Brett's gift to her was a promise ring.
