Dave spun around and dropped down to one knee in front of me.
He’s asking me to marry him?
What the fuck…
We don’t even agree on a brand of coffee.
How can I marry someone if we don’t agree on coffee?
He also eats yogurt. Plain yogurt. Those containers of smelly-looking man-jizz. And he slurps like a porn star on the last ten seconds of a video…
“Fiona, will you be my forever bride?”
Dave had a ring in his hand.
His family watched with pride.
The entire bar fell silent and watched.
Everyone expecting me to give a nod, then cry and wear a diamond ring.
My mind told me to just go with it.
Spare him the humiliation for now.
Put the ring on and then deal with this later.
“Oh, Dave,” I said.
Just say yes… then…
I touched my chest and I looked around.
New plan!
“Give me one second,” I whispered to him. “I feel like I’m going to faint.”
Dave smiled. “I’ll be right here.”
Even that felt like a cringe move.
I held up one finger, turned and ran to the bathroom.
I knew right then that was it.
There was no leaving that bathroom.
This was my new home.
I’d have to live here forever.
“Think,” I whispered to myself. “How the hell…”
My eyes looked at the small window.
I took a deep breath.
What choice did I have here?
