During our trip to Japan, we found ourselves hiking the Fushimi Inari Shrine—what Cameron affectionately calls the “Mother Land.” About halfway up the trail, we paused at a lookout point, and I was already completely taken by the view. Knowing the hike could take several hours and that we had already been climbing for quite some time, I suggested we turn back. Cameron, however, was determined. “We came all the way to Japan,” he said, “we’re going all the way to the top.” When we finally reached the summit, I began recording the scenery and casually asked our friends where Cameron was. One of them gestured in the opposite direction and said that he was looking for me as well. When I walked over, I found Cameron on one knee, ready to begin our next chapter together.
