One busy morning at Cracker Barrel, Noa was serving his tables, when a stop-in-your-tracks-and-ignore-your-customers, stunning, blonde girl walked in with her parents. He said to himself, "I HAVE to say SOMETHING." So, he wrote a note on a receipt (naturally), and before she finished chewing her last bite, he dropped it, slyly, with the same hand that bused her plate. He walked away victoriously, thinking he had gone unnoticed, until Mac (Nicole's father) exclaimed, "WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS WITH MY DAUGHTER?!" Noa left empty-handed. No girl. No tips. No dignity. Nicole read, "This morning I woke up to the sunrise. It was only half as beautiful as your eyes." She thought it was sweet, and he was {SUPER} cute, but they never dated, for you see: they were at different colleges in different cities. 7 years pass; Noa gets a message on Bumble from some girl named Nicole, who said, "Do you remember that note you left me? Well, I still have it." Thus, it began. Soon thereafter, he asked her to be his. At Cracker Barrel. At the same table in which they first met. A year later, Nicole and Noa traveled to Hawaii to celebrate their anniversary, his birthday, graduation, and his 50th state. Googling activities, they discovered the Haleakala Volcano, aka, "The World's Most Beautiful Sunrise." Noa decided this made a significantly better proposal than at Cracker Barrel. At 3:00am on 2.21.19, they drove to the volcano, but!...It required reservations. Reservations that absolutely were not made. Nicole could not understand why Noa REFUSED to go home, as he was knocking on drivers' windows, begging for a ride to the top. Despite her greater judgment, they hitchhiked to the peak. Together, Nicole and Noa watched the sunrise. When it poured its' light upon her, he knelt, offering the same diamond that belonged to her mother, and to her mother before her, and said, "This morning, I woke up to the world's most beautiful sunrise. And it was only half as beautiful as your eyes."
