Golden sunlight stretches across a peaceful neighborhood. Cars move slowly along the road as the evening begins to settle in.

A black SUV pulls up outside a beautiful house. The engine shuts off.

WAYNE remains behind the steering wheel for a moment. He looks down at a small velvet ring box resting in his hand.

His fingers tighten around it. He takes a deep breath.

There is nervousness in his eyes.

Tonight is supposed to be simple. A conversation. A decision. A question he has been carrying in his heart for a long time.

Wayne opens the car door and steps outside.

YAYA stands near the window, checking her phone. She smiles when she sees Wayne walking toward the front door.

A moment later, the door opens.

Yaya looks up. Her smile grows.

Wayne walks inside. He tries to smile normally, but Yaya immediately notices something is different.

Yaya sits down on the couch. Wayne sits across from her.

Wayne looks down. Then back at her.

Yaya listens carefully.

Wayne reaches into his jacket. Yaya notices. Her eyes widen slightly.

He pulls out the small velvet box. Yaya freezes.

Wayne slowly opens it. A beautiful engagement ring catches the warm light.

Yaya covers her mouth with her hand. Wayne moves closer and kneels in front of her.

Silence.

Yaya stares at him. A tear rolls down her cheek. She smiles through it.

Wayne gently takes her hand and slides the ring onto her finger. Yaya looks down at it.

They embrace tightly.

Wayne drives through the city. His phone rings.

Wayne’s smile slowly fades. He already knows Anthony’s plan.

Anthony intends to propose to D’Nisha during the trip.

Several vehicles are parked outside. Everyone is preparing for the trip. Luggage is being loaded into cars.

Yaya walks toward Wayne. She is wearing the engagement ring.

Across the parking area, Anthony notices the ring.
