I feel so weirdly cock-blocked right now.
At first it looks like she's about to propose to me, which, rare that a girl proposes to a dude, but you never know. Then she asks if I'd mind returning the ring to the jewelers. I don't even even know this mare, yet the brief opportunity to be engaged to her, only for said opportunity to be erased in a few seconds, has left me distraught. Never have I fallen in love with someone so quickly, only for the candle to get snuffed out just as swiftly.
But have no fear, my dear, for someday I will express my love for you, mon amour, and maybe we can live happily together forevermore!

I'm not sure that's necessarily a mare. I'm getting a pretty ambiguous vibe from the image.

Okay, I really love the work you did with the eyes. They do a great job of grabbing your attention and immediately making the piece feel very empathetic. Overall, this is some really clean linework, and I love the way how the curve of her arm draws your attention away from her eyes and towards the ring box. Everything just feels very well-composed.
If I had to lodge some criticism, (and you'll have to forgive me for being vague) I'd say that there is a kind of static-y feeling to this piece. Like, it feels very much frozen in time, with no movement. For some reason, this feeling was kind of heightened when I'm looking at the cup and the spoon, and something about how they're shown. Sorry for not being able to be clearer!
Anyways, this is great, and the caption was just the right kind of stupid.
Thanks for arting!

Anyway. Some advice for an already well-drawn image.
The table lines and the cylinder are far too rigid and clean for the rest of the piece, which has an organic quality to it. They feel out of place, and would look better drawn loose. The neck seems overly thick, and the angle of the hoof is a little awkward.
I like that the look in the face is ambiguous rather than super-emotional. That provides more room for interpretation about what might be happening here, beyond the obvious connotation.

Would you…?
Thanks for the great comments!
This was a side idea that was simple to execute and had potential for story hooks, so I drew it up. It probably would have benefited from a redraw, but here we are.

(Here's another pic I'm reviewing without context of the fic, and waaaay after the event is complete, so feel free to ignore.)
I like some of the details, such as the ruffles in the mane, and the highlights in the eyes. most of the facial details feel natural. This characters is very legible, and the action they're trying to convey is very clear.
You've also worked some proportion into the character's forehoof gesture, and the subject of said gesture.
The perspective clash of this drawing is the main thing that bothers me. The boards of the table indicate a higher overhead perspective, while the angle of the forehoof/ medallion tell us a different perspective. I don't know whether it should be a shallow perspective or an overhead perspective.
I feel like the horizontal lines across the table should be closer together. And, lastly, I like how you've proportioned the character's facial features, however, I would probably make the shape of the cheeks something other than round. Slightly angled for the cheekbone, or a slight bulge for the lower jaw. Something along those lines.
