Dominic & Emily

 

He knew I loved fall hikes — the crisp air, the way the leaves turn every shade of gold and red, the quiet you only get above the tree line. So when he suggested we take a weekend trail up in the mountains, I didn’t think twice.

We climbed for hours, stopping to take in the views, swapping snacks from our packs. By the time we reached the summit, the sky was a perfect blue and the valley below looked like a painting.

I was still catching my breath when he said, “I’ve been carrying something else up here.” I laughed, thinking he meant another granola bar — until he pulled out the ring.

No big speech, no crowd, just the wind, the mountains, and the two of us. I said yes, and we sat there for a long time, letting the view and the moment sink in.

The ring is exactly like us — understated, solid, and built to last. Every time I wear it, I think about that climb, the leaves, and how the best views really do come after the hardest trails.
