As Alice stepped into the bustling city, she couldn’t help but feel a little breathless. It was the first time she had visited New York, and the sights and sounds were overwhelming. But she had come here for a reason – to see the love of her life.

She had met Daniel online, and they had instantly hit it off. They had been chatting for months, and Alice knew that he was the one for her. They had decided to finally meet in person and spend a week exploring the city together.

Alice had butterflies in her stomach as she made her way to the park where they were supposed to meet. She saw him sitting on a bench, looking just as handsome as he did in his pictures. As she approached, he stood up and took her in his arms. Alice felt her heart race and her breath catch in her throat.

As they walked around the city, Alice and Daniel talked about everything under the sun. They shared their dreams and fears, and Alice felt like she had known him for years. They laughed and joked, and Alice found herself feeling more alive than she had in a long time.

As the sun began to set, they made their way to the top of the Empire State Building. Alice felt her breath leave her as they looked out over the sprawling city. Daniel took her hand and looked into her eyes. “Alice, I know we’ve only known each other for a short time, but I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for you.” He took a deep breath. “Will you be my girlfriend?”

Alice felt tears prick her eyes as she wrapped her arms around him. “Yes, Daniel. A thousand times yes.” They kissed as the city lights twinkled below them, and Alice felt like she was on top of the world. She knew that this was just the beginning of something amazing, and she felt breathless with happiness.
