“Y/N are you finally ready to go?” Dan asked and held back a groan as he took a quick glance at his watch.

“Just give me one more sec!” I shouted as I stuffed a thermos bottle filled with fresh hot tea and some biscuits into my huge travel bag

My long term boyfriend Dan and I had a long trip ahead of us and I may had made us late by 30 minutes already.

“Almost done.” I assured him as I jumped into my boots and wrapped a thick woollen scarf around my neck.

Dan’s family had invited us to spend Christmas Eve with them at their remote and idyllic cabin on a little mountain. It was a peaceful and romantic getaway and the perfect place to escape the busy London.

“Let’s go.” Dan exclaimed even more excited than how I expected him to be.

It was already getting dark outside when we got into the car and started driving, I hated how early the sun sets in winter.

“Turn it up louder!” I said with enthusiasm, making Dan let go off an exaggerated groan.

I had put together an hours long Christmas playlist that we could listen to during the whole car ride.

Although Dan acted like he was annoyed at first, he started loudly singing along to ‘Jingle Bells’ a few minutes later.

In the meantime it had become pitch black outside and some houses at the side of the road had turned their beautiful Christmas lights on. Although I was a little bit tired I couldn’t stop myself from staring out of the window the whole time. I didn’t want to miss a single bit of this beautiful scenery.

“Oh my god, Y/N. Look!” Dan suddenly shouted, pointing to what was right in front of him.

My eyes widened at the sight as huge smiles spread over both of our faces.

It was snowing.

Dan’s parents had already let us know that it had snowed a lot over in Dan’s home town, but when the first snowflakes hit the front window Dan and I felt like little kids again.

We hadn’t had seen snow all year and now we were seeing our first one on Christmas Eve. It was truly a magical moment.

“It’s so pretty.” I awed as our headlights made the tiny snowflakes visible that were dancing in the air.

I lightly kissed Dan’s cheek, glad to be able to share such a wonderful moment with him. My little kiss made him smile widely, revealing his pretty dimple.

The closer we got to our destination the heavier it started to snow. The flakes got thicker and the trees, streetlamps and rooftops were all covered in a white snow blanket.

The new weather conditions slowed us down immensely, since Dan had to drive much slower and more carefully.

I felt bad for making us half an hour late in addition.

I could tell that Dan got more and more frustrated the later it got. His family was waiting for us, the opulent dinner that was expecting us was probably getting cold as we were driving and we didn’t want to spend our whole Christmas Eve inside of a car.

When the clock read 10pm Dan was deeply frowning and groaning. We should have been there at 8 pm.

“Hi, Mary. It’s me Y/N.” I spoke into my phone, talking to Dan’s mother.

“I’m so sorry that we’re so late. We didn’t expect it to be snowing this heavily.” I let her know. Being the lovely lady she was she was just glad that we were fine.

“It hasn’t snowed this hard in years actually.” She admitted, sounding a bit worried about us.

“We’re almost there, see you in a bit.” I said and hung up after we had both said our goodbyes.

Soon the window wipers had troubles dealing with the immense amount of snow that hit the front window even though it was working on its highest speed.

It was soon to be 11pm when we had reached the bottom of the mountain that the cabin was on top of.

Dan’s whole body language signalized that he was nervous and stressed, not even me lightly petting his arm to calm him down could make him untense.

Our engine and tires started making worrying noises as the road got steeper. The road was covered in ice and thick snow.

Dan was tense as he was making his way up the hill, driving extremely slow. His eyebrows were furrowed together and he was biting his bottom lip in concentration. Dan’s brown orbs were entirely focused on the steep path ahead of us.

We were so close to the cabin, already halfway up the hill when Dan stepped into the gas pedal, but we didn’t move. I grabbed onto my seatbelt and took a deep breath.

The tires started to spin, whirling up some snow. Dan tried to accelerate again and again, but with no success.  

We were stuck.  

“Fuck” he groaned in frustration as he hit the wheel.

“Dan, baby. Everything is fine. I’m just going to call your parents and they’ll come and get us.” I explained and tried to calm us down.

There was no need to freak out right?

“Nothing is alright, Y/N.” Dan whispered, extremely annoyed by this situation.

I saw him take a quick glance at the clock. It was 11.05pm already.

He swallowed hard and hid his face behind his palms.

“This is absolutely terrible.” He breathed.

I got out of the car and called Dan’s parents. His dad told us to just wait there and he’d come and get us in his cross country vehicle.

“Look, it’s all good.” I told my boyfriend after I had hung up.

“We just got to wait until he get’s there.” I said and felt relieved.

“But I don’t have that much time.” Dan sighed as he looked up at the sky as if he was expecting to see something there.

It was now 11.10pm.  

I followed his gaze and as if he knew it would happen, fireworks started to go off, lighting up the pitch black sky.

It was a beautiful explosion of colours and shapes.

“Omg Dan, look! It’s so pretty.” I awed amazed by the spectacle.

“Very pretty, yeah.” He said but didn’t sound anywhere near as excited as me.

“Does this happen every year?” I asked him, still looking up.

“It doesn’t. Just this year.” He mumbled.

Suddenly the fireworks formed a giant red heart, making my eyes grow wide.

It was breath-taking.

There was a little pause that made me think it was over but then I could hear a few fireworks go off at the same time.

I raised my  head again and as I started into the night sky, the fireworks spelled out:

Dan + Y/N

My heart skipped a beat.

“Dan what is this?” I breathed totally moved.

I turned around to face him, but instead of being eye to eye with him he was kneeling in front of me.

We were in the middle of the woods, half way up the hill and stuck in this huge amount of snow. Our car and the fireworks were our only source of light as snowflakes were still dancing around us.

I couldn’t help but gasp and covered my mouth with my hand.

“Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, I had a perfect plan about how this should’ve went. I wanted to ask you the questions of question after dinner in front of my family. I would have taken you onto the balcony. At 11.11pm I wanted to propose to you because of two reasons. Firstly because I could have made a wish and I would have wished for you to say yes. Secondly because I organized the fireworks to go off at that exact time.”

I swallowed hard as I stared down at the love of my life that was still kneeling in front of me. The first tears were dangerously close to spilling from my eyes.

“Maybe this is even a way better engagement story. And I’m just talking because I am so nervous.

But Y/N, I am so in love with you. So, I’m now asking you.

“Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, will you marry me?”

I could feel my heart race as a giant smile appeared on my face. I vigorously nodded as happy tears streamed down my cheeks.
