The old oak tree in the park was their usual meeting spot. Sarah arrived before David, pacing back and forth, unable to stand still. He was running late, which never happened. Finally, he appeared, a sheepish grin plastered across his face.

"Guten Tag, mein Schatz!" he announced, handing her a single, perfect red rose. She felt a lightness in her chest she hadn't felt in weeks.

She pulled him into a hug, squeezing him tight. She felt like running in circles. This was the most unexpected gift she could've imagined.
