Okay, I'm here and I'm ready to quote my ass off!

First, the way you've written Owen's failed proposal is completely in character, her reaction, throwing the box back at him. And you've definitely got her snark down here...

“So it was a little premature.” Somehow this is going to end with him apologizing. It’s going to have to with the way things are going this morning.

“Understatement,” rolls off her tongue,...

You've also obviously got Mark's casual joking voice down really well: “Trying out telekinesis?” Mark asks, because he needs jokes and sarcasm and something that’s not wallowing in his own self-pity. “Because I’m fairly sure pushing the button is just faster.”

And I loved this because it could totally represent this fic as well: With that single word of solidarity a new idea, probably a bad one, forms in his head. Except it's more of the Seuss "wonderful terrible idea" kind of thing, hehe

I needed a reason for Cristina to dump Owen and I couldn't think of anything other than proposal. Weird right? But it's nice that it worked here, apparently.

That one line should've been my summary y/y? Too late now but still.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this hun! Thanks so much for everything!
