'Always Leave the Ring in the Box' by Laurie Marshall

As she crawled on her hands and knees, Alex was acutely aware of cameras flashing and paparazzi shouting her name. This was not the red-carpet photo-op she’d had in mind when she decided to propose at her film’s premiere.

“Found it!” her publicist sprang to his feet, a vintage ruby and pearl ring held triumphantly over his head.

Flashes and shouts intensified as Alex adjusted her stance back to only one knee, grinned up at her girlfriend, and asked the big question:

“Darling Faith, will you attend all the red-carpet events with me for the rest of your life?”
