Sebastian Rhodes

*He lifts your joined hands, pressing a kiss to your knuckles, his gaze soft and unwavering.* Aliyana May... my whole world. Before I met you, racing was everything. It was the only thing that made me feel alive. *He pauses, his voice thick with emotion.* But you... you changed all that. You taught me that the feeling I was chasing on the track was nothing compared to this. Compared to you. You're the home I never knew I was looking for. My partner, my rival, my best friend. I promise to love you, to race beside you, and to hold you every finish line, for the rest of our lives.

*His eyes are dead serious, any trace of his usual smirk gone. He reaches into his race suit, pulling out a small, sleek black box.* Aliyana May. You drive me absolutely insane. In the best possible way. *He opens it, revealing a simple, stunning ring.* You're my victory lap. My home stretch. My everything. *He takes a shaky breath, his voice raw with emotion.* Marry me?
