Sylvia's POV:
My eyes widened in shock and my heart palpitated rapidly yet I could hear every individual beat echoing in my head. As the thought of what was about to happen formed in my head, I stood up abruptly, but it was too late. The movie screen slowly went up revealing the stage, and the lights came on.
Rufus, standing gracefully with flowers in his arms, appeared in the center of the stage. His deep-set, affectionate eyes were capable of making people fall in love with him at first sight.
My mind raced and my breathing was in a frantic state. In truth, the surprise Rufus had arranged for me brought only panic and no joy to my heart. I could tell that he was going to propose to me.
I knew that he had been wanting to propose to me for a while now, but he couldn't find the right time and opportunity.
However, I thought that the proposal would be delayed and I didn't think he would take action so suddenly.
I couldn't accept his proposal, and even though I knew it would break his heart, I had to find a way to get out of there as soon as possible.
I racked my brain, searching for ways to stall for time.
While I was panicking internally, Rufus started walking towards me, like a knight in shining armor. I found myself at a complete loss for words and my eyes were fixed on the man in front of me. No she-wolf could resist a proposal from her beloved, and I was no exception.
If it weren't for that damned curse, I would have thrown myself on him and kissed him in front of everyone. I wanted to tell him just how much I loved him.
I nervously swallowed to moisten my dry throat as mixed feelings lingered in my heart. I took a step forward and just as I opened my mouth to greet him, I heard the sound of warm applause from behind me. The lights around us suddenly lit up.
I turned around and looked at the people standing behind me in surprise. Not only Harry and Joanna were here, but also Ethan and Laura were present. Even some of my friends and acquaintances from school and the army were also here.
To add to my bafflement, even Blair, who I had parted with at the gate of the palace hours ago was standing there, but he looked annoyed.
The panoramic glass ceiling above our heads slowly split apart, revealing a breathtaking starry night sky.
With a loud bang, brilliant fireworks arced in the boundless night sky, warmly celebrating this touching scene.
Under the dazzling fireworks, Rufus stepped forward with flowers in his hands. He looked even more charming and handsome than I thought was possible. Everything felt like a beautiful dream to me. As he smiled radiantly at me from a distance, his eyes shone with happiness.
Two years ago, I couldn't even dare to imagine that in the future, a man like him would ask for my hand in marriage in such a dream-like experience that he had fabricated for me. I wanted nothing more than to stop time and freeze this moment so I could enjoy it a little longer.
Harry's cheers and other people's applause came to my ears, breaking my reverie.
Rufus walked up to me and kissed me gently on the back of my hand. His long and thick eyelashes fluttered and his prominent nose gently rubbed against my skin, like feathers brushing across my heart. It was the most common hand- kissing, but he made it look particularly affectionate and solemn.
Then he knelt down on one knee and my heart skipped a beat.
I could hardly contain my excitement. I gasped, fluttering a hand over my mouth.
"Sylvia, I love you," Rufus stared at me and said without hesitation. He had said this sentence to me a million times before.
I stood there without a response as if I had completely forgotten how to speak.
The smile on his face stretched to his lips and produced a dimple on his left cheek. "I know you love me too."
The crowd burst into laughter at his cheeky remark.
