“Miles, where are we actually going. I can’t see shit.”
Miles just laughed, still guiding her, “Just wait ‘till you see it.”
“‘Just wait ‘till you see my ass.’ Very clever." she tried impersonating him.
After a few moments of walking, he removed the blindfold, seeing a picnic set under an aesthetically-looking tree, also comes up with aesthetic stars and atmosphere.
“Wow, it‘s so fascinating! You made all of these?” she motioned at the picnic set.

He nervously rubbed the back of his neck, “Like, we would get together once we grew up?”
“Oh, that.” she shyly smiled.
He held both her hands, “I did. I cherished and fulfilled that promise. I love you, (First name).”
Her chest had a tight sensation, as her heart beat rapidly. He did. He did waited for her. She gazed at his almond brown eyes, before cupping his cheeks, gently pressing her soft, plump lips against his.
Miles goggled at her, as he returned the kiss, encasing his arms around her slim waist. At an instant time, they both disengaged from the kiss.
He smirked, “Love you too, babe.”
