SHE SAID YES!!!
What a crazy week! I forgot Sophie's birthday. I got a new job. Oh, and I almost didn't ask Sophie to marry me!
I bought a ring for Sophie on Saturday morning - I wanted to ask her to marry me that night. So I invited her over, cooked a special dinner, and made her favorite dessert. I felt nervous, but when she arrived, she said she had a cold and felt tired. Not the right mood for "Marry me." She went straight home after dinner. She didn't even eat my chocolate cake!
I had an important interview on Wednesday - I didn't get Sophie's cold, thank goodness - and I got the job! When I texted Sophie the good news, she texted back, "Let's have dinner on Friday to celebrate!" Perfect, right? Wrong. We went to our favorite restaurant. Before the server showed us to our table, Sophie saw some friends, and we all ate together. I didn't want to ask her in front of all our friends. After we left the restaurant, Sophie borrowed my jacket. (Oh, no! The ring!) She put her hands in the pockets and found the box!
"Oh, you remembered my birthday!" she said. (Oh, no! Her birthday!) Then she opened the box. Thinking fast, I dropped to one knee. "Happy birthday, Sophie Will you marry me?"
