saturday night/sunday morning
he whispered into my ear "Jennifer Lynn, will you marry me?"
He wanted to ask formally with a ring and all that but I feel it wouldn't have taken from or really contributed to the moment.
This is the first time I said "yes."
In Nebraska, I said " Of course, one day I will marry you"
I guess he took that as a "no" or "not right now"
For some reason, the way he asked me this time, the way his eyes looked, the way he had this index aligning my jaw and just staring fully into my eyes just gave me goosebumps I've not experienced before.
There was something about this time that all I could say was "yes", I am weird about being on the spot, even in privacy such as that but he had my full undividied attention.
Sometimes I wake up to make sure this is all still real and I'm not in some drug induced coma in Hell's Kitchen.
And if I am, I hope not to wake from it.
