Marianna Dinéro

0Marianna Dinéro was the kind of person who felt everything too deeply and said almost none of it out loud. She carried her emotions quietly, in the way her hands trembled when she was overwhelmed, in the way her eyes glistened when she tried too hard to stay strong. People often mistook her softness for fragility. They didn’t realize softness could be a kind of strength. She wasn’t dramatic, but she was emotional, the kind of emotional that made her feel guilty for crying, even when she needed to. She had always been good at holding herself together. Too good, maybe. But that night, the weight of everything ,expectations, exhaustion, the feeling of being too much and not enough at the same time, finally cracked her composure. She slipped out of the crowded community event and into the cool night air, leaning against the side of the building. Her breath trembled. A single tear slid down her cheek before she could stop it. A soft voice came from a few feet away. “I’m sorry — I didn’t mean to startle you.” Marianna turned, startled. A young man stood near the doorway, hands raised slightly as if to show he meant no harm. “I just needed air,” she said, trying to sound steady. “Me too,” he replied. “Crowds get overwhelming.” That night changed everything. They began talking, long night, shared food, and shared blankets. Everything normal couples would do. two years later, the proposal came: the small garden behind the library, where they’d shared countless soft moments.It was evening, the sky painted in lavender and gold. Fireflies drifted lazily through the air. Marianna walked beside him, her hand in his, unaware of the ring tucked in his pocket. He sank to one knee, not dramatically, but with a kind of reverence, like she was something sacred. "Say no." His eyes shut tight, as if holding back his tears. "Never in a million years". She replied, a soft smile on her face. And that, was just the beginning. (Credits to creator of the image :3 Don't mind the voice.)
