He slides the ring across the table. "Fake engagement. One month." I say yes without thinking.
First public appearance. His hand finds my waist. It feels too natural. Too practiced.
Shared hotel room at his cousin's wedding. One bed. "It's just for show," he whispers. Neither of us moves.
Meeting his family. His mom asks when we knew. Our eyes lock. The answer gets stuck.
"This isn't fake anymore," I finally say. He's already kissing me.
One month's up. He doesn't take the ring off. Neither do I.

cinematic photorealistic photograph, shot on Canon EOS R5, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, tight crop, faces fill 60-70% of the frame. SCENE: A man in a charcoal suit slides a delicate diamond ring across a white linen tablecloth at an upscale restaurant. A woman in her late 20s sits opposite, mid-laugh, hand reaching toward the ring. The moment between 'yes' and 'are we really doing this.' CHARACTERS: Man, early 30s, dark wavy hair, sharp jawline, olive skin, tailored grey suit. Woman, late 20s, warm brown eyes, shoulder-length chestnut hair, black silk blouse. LIGHTING: Warm golden hour light filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows behind them, hitting his face from the left, casting soft shadows across the table. The ring catches ambient light. TONE: realistic skin texture, subtle film grain, high dynamic range, moody cinematic color grading with warm amber undertones.
