“Yeah, well, it’s my fault. I gave Ky her dog Winnie and Simon has become attached to her.”

“You’re kidding. Simon’s girlfriend is your girlfriend’s dog…I don’t believe it.” He shook his head laughing. “Both of you are whipped.”

“Look who’s talking.”

“And proud of it.”

“Do you want some coffee?” Sean asked.

“Yes, thank you.”

“What time did you two get in?”

Jordan rubbed his head. “I think it was after two.”

“Where did you go?”

“After dinner, we checked out a little jazz club and man, I don’t know where my wife gets her energy.”

“I don’t need to hear any more.” Sean smiled.

“She’s a little spit fire.” He took a couple of sips before continuing. “So let me see it.”

“See what?”

“The ring.” Sean walked down to his bedroom and returned shortly with a small black velvet box, placed it on the counter in front of Jordan, and opened it. “Wow, that’s beautiful.”

“Thanks.”

“I was a little

concerned you might be rushing into things but, after spending time with the two of you the other night, I think the timing is right, but you already knew that.”

“Yeah.”

“So, how are you going to do it?”

“I’m not sure. She’s not the romantic type.” Jordan nodded. “So I was thinking about just placing it in front of her and asking her if she wanted to get married.”

“And it will be you and Simon for the rest of your life.”

“I’m yanking your chain.” They laughed. “There’s a cafe`we frequent and I was thinking about doing it there after hours.”

“A cafe`?”

“It’s where we sort of had our first date.”

“You said she wasn’t romantic, that’s very romantic.”

“I know, but I think if I don’t make it romantic, she’ll be upset with me.”

“They all want the proposal to be romantic. When are you going to do it?”

“Maybe next week…I’ve been trying to work up the nerve.”

“Take it from me, if you’re waiting on your nerves to calm down, that won’t happen until after she says, yes. It’s sort of like a band-aid, you just gotta rip it off.” They laughed “So Simon is sulking?”

“Yep, we had plans with Ky and Winnie and she cancelled.”
