Man Proposes To Girlfriend In Zoo, Then One Hippo Starts Doing This

One Last Look

Their children pressed their faces to the glass, laughing at the giant creature. David slipped his arm around her and whispered, “Full circle.” Julia smiled, heart full. Life, love, and the hippo—forever bound in their story.
