For months, Kyle has been successfully deflecting, obfuscating, and outright gaslighting Olivia into believing nothing was going on. No, he had not thought about proposing to her. No, he had not looked at rings. And no, he had not talked to her parents. Meanwhile, he had secured the rock, her family's travel plans, and a venue to throw down at after the deed was done.

On December 9th, 2023, Kyle pushed Olivia out the door of their Stratford apartment for a totally normal afternoon date - a nice stroll along the beach before the sun sets and then a nice meal at Little Pub by the sea wall. Olivia soon learned that this was all a ruse, a plot to have her guard down for when he went in for the kill. Kyle stopped their walk, turned to her, and said some very nice things that neither of the couple recalls today. Yet, before Kyle could execute the final step, before one knee hit the sand, Olivia incredulously (yet excitedly) asked, "Are you proposing right now?!", and successfully ruined the master plan.

Regardless, Kyle moved forward and asked the presumptive question, and Olivia very surprisingly said "yes". But Kyle had the last laugh - he kept up one final misdirection until she was blindsided by family and friends at the venue afterwards who were more than ready to celebrate the great news.
