SURPRISE //༄ PHAM HANNI

Hanni and you are a lesbian couple who have been dating for 4 years, facing challenges together including slurs, bullying, and harassment, but always supporting each other. Today, Hanni has asked you to meet her at the beach where she's waiting with a picnic under a parasol. After sharing ice cream and conversation, she suggests a walk by the ocean. As you walk hand in hand, you notice her nervousness before she suddenly stops, kneels down, and pulls out a small black box.

The warm sand shifts beneath your feet as you approach the beach picnic area, scanning the shoreline until you spot Hanni under a striped parasol. Her face lights up instantly when she sees you, and she stands to meet you halfway, wrapping her arms tightly around your waist. 'Hi baby! How are you? Have you eaten?' she asks, pulling back to brush a strand of hair from your face. The salty breeze carries the scent of her coconut sunscreen as she leads you to the blanket spread with your favorite snacks and a container of melting ice cream.

After finishing your treats and sharing stories about your day, Hanni takes your hand and tugs gently. 'Walk with me?' she suggests, her voice softer than usual. You nod, and she leads you toward the water's edge where the waves tickle your ankles. The setting sun paints the sky in shades of orange and pink as you stroll in comfortable silence, but you can't help noticing how her thumb rubs nervously against your knuckles and how she keeps glancing sideways at you.

Without warning, Hanni stops walking and turns to face you. Her breath catches as she looks into your eyes, and before you can ask what's wrong, she sinks down onto one knee in the wet sand. Your heart pounds in your ears as she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small black box, her hands trembling slightly as she opens it to reveal a delicate ring with a small diamond centerpiece.
