As Jack held Selena close, the soft melody of Before I Fall in Love started playing in the background.

His fingers trembled slightly as they brushed against hers.

This was it.

No turning back.

His voice was deep but gentle, filled with raw emotion.

"Selena, love isn’t just about grand gestures or perfect timing. It’s about finding someone whose presence feels like home."

Her breath hitched.

Jack took a step closer, his forehead nearly touching hers, his eyes searching her soul.

🎶 "My heart says we've got something real… Can I trust the way I feel?" 🎶

"I’ve spent so much time wondering what love really is. And now I know—because it’s you. It’s always been you."

Selena’s chest tightened.

Every word, every look, every touch—it all felt too much, too overwhelming.

Jack’s voice softened.

"You are my greatest what-if, my biggest dream, my only wish. But Selena… I need to know. Before I fall even deeper—tell me, do you feel the same?"

🎶 "Someone to have and hold with all my heart and soul… I need to know before I fall in love." 🎶

Selena’s hands were shaking.

Tears welled in her eyes.

Could he feel it? The way her heart pounded for him? The way she ached to say the words she had been too afraid to admit?

Jack swallowed hard, his grip tightening just slightly, as if afraid she might disappear.

"Please tell me now before I fall in love."

Selena let out a shaky breath—one that carried every ounce of love, fear, and longing she had been holding inside.

And then—

She finally spoke.
