Shit, I said it, and I automatically regret it the moment I blurt it out. I’m holding him, and he has his back to me. He can’t see that I’ve closed my eyes and the fact that I’m crossing my feet.
“Sorry?”
“Well, it’s just that you’ve been distant lately, so I thought that there was something on your mind.”
He moves away from me and turns to face me, but this time not sitting down which makes me feel even more nervous.
“I’ve just had a lot on my mind.”
“Tell me about it. I get that. You don’t even want to play in your room anymore.”
He sighs, “That’s because you seem to think that’s the only thing that will make everything better, but it doesn’t work like that.”
Are you going to tell me what it works like?”
He shakes his head, “I didn’t come home for a fight. I just came to get ready and for us to go to the gallery, that’s why you said I should come home early today right?”
I nod my head and then it dawns on me that in the year that we’ve been dating and living together we’ve never had a fight. Like never and now we’re having a fight like a real couple, and I don’t know what to do with myself.
“Wait. What’s going on?”
He shakes his head, “Scarlett, I’m not Sam so please for once stop treating me as if I am.”
And then he walks away, and I wonder where all that came from.
He spins around and says, “This is the reason I’ve been nervous. We were supposed to go to the gallery and then I was going to get on one knee in front of all those people and propose to you. You happy now?”

I gasp as I see the box. The jewelry box which obviously has a ring in it. For me.
“Well, it’s not too late!” I squeal thinking that he was bored and that he’d had enough of me. When all along, he wanted us to be official.
He takes a deep breath and says, “I’m so shit at this type of thing.”
I laugh, “You are!”
“Thanks, Scarlett.”
“Are you going to propose or what?”
He smiles as he gets on one knee and the diamond ring in the box is finally opened, “Will you Scarlett…”
I don’t even get him to finish the rest of the sentence as I jump on him and he falls onto the green. I kiss him so many times. He pulls back and says, “Is that a yes?”
