I Handed the Ring to My Rival

The first time I helped someone propose, it was helping my rival propose to my fiancé.

I wore a strawberry bear mascot costume, shivering in the cold on a winter street, personally handing the ring to Sophia.

She turned around and gave me a sweet smile, her eyes full of undisguised smugness and provocation.

The crowd gathered in a circle around us, their cheering growing louder and louder.

I blended in among them, clapping the hardest, shouting the loudest.

Mason looked past Sophia, who was kneeling on one knee, and in front of everyone, he yanked off my mascot head.
