"A pet?" Cameron asked, intrigued.


    Bradley had never mentioned having a pet at home.


    "Cam, I''ll take you to see it," Cami said, waving the ribbon in her hand. "But I need to blindfold you."


    Cameron raised an eyebrow. "So mysterious?"


    Cami nodded. "Yeah, do you want to go? Brad''s in the backyard right now. I''ll


    take you


    there."


    Cameron already had a hunch, but she yed along and nodded. "Let''s go!"


    Cami tied the ribbon over Cameron''s eyes.


    Eric reminded her, "Cami, be gentle."


    Camiughed, "I know, Eric. I won''t ruin the makeup you worked so hard on."


    Cami led Cameron to the backyard, and after about ten minutes of walking, they finally stopped.


    Even though Cameron couldn''t see, she could feel the change beneath her feet - first cement, then cobblestones, then grass. Suddenly, she stepped onto something incredibly soft. ''Is this... petals?'' she wondered.


    Cami came to a stop, smiling as she said, "Cam, we''re here."


    She gently removed the blindfold from Cameron''s eyes.


    Eric took out apact he always carried and helped Cameron touch up her makeup.


    "Cam, you can open your eyes now," Eric said.


    Cameron slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw took her breath away. The ground was covered in a sea of red and white rose petals.


    The entire garden was carpeted with them.


    She was standing on a small stage.


    Behind her was arge disy made entirely of petals.


    White roses formed the base, while red roses spelled out the words: [Cameron, will you marry me?]


    She had guessed right.


    Bradley was nning to propose to her.


    ''No wonder, I was just here for a visit, but Bradley made a special trip home,'' she thought.


    Cameron smiled gently.


    When she looked up, she saw Amelia, L, and Sienna standing nearby.


    Turning her gaze, she spotted Jacqueline and Levi, Sam, Gavin, Pearl, David, and several key executives from herpany.


    Cameron had guessed what Bradley was nning, but she hadn''t expected that all her friends and family, even Pearl, would be here.


    Pearl let out a soft, happy "awoo..."


    As soon as Pearl spotted Cameron, she ran over with excitement, rubbing her fluffy head affectionately against Cameron & knees


    Eric quickly stepped back.


    "Pearl," Cameron said, a gentle smile on her lips as she reached down to give Pearl a loving rub on the head.


    "Awoo..."


    "Cam, you look absolutely stunning!" Amelia walked over, smiling, "Good thing you went undercover as a boy back in high school, or my title as the school''s beauty queen would''ve been in serious danger."


    "Cam, you are just unbelievably gorgeous. And honestly, I never thought Bradley could be this romantic. I was totally surprised when he called me about this," L said.


    Sienna chimed in, "Bradley really went all out for this. It''s so sweet that he made sure we could all be here to witness such an important moment.


    "Cam..." Jacqueline and Levi walked over as well.


    Jacqueline looked at Cameron, unable to hold back her admiration. "You look so beautiful. Are you feeling cold at all?"


    She took Cameron''s hand, surprised to find it warmer than her own, even though Cameron was dressed so lightly.


    Levi reached out and put an arm around Cameron''s shoulders. "You''re wearing so little," he said.


    Cameron smiled, "Mom, Dad, I''m not cold."


    Gavin was grinning from ear to ear at Cameron, thinking to himself, ''My sister is really gorgeous.''


    But the moment he realized this was Bradley''s carefully nned proposal, his smile instantly vanished.


    Lance crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, a proud look on his face. "Cameron, you''re so gorgeous."


    David and the execs joined in,ughing, "Ms. Yates, with looks like yours, it''s a


    crime you''re not a superstar!"


    The violin ensemble began to y.


    "Brad''sing," Cami said.
