I wish I could show you the sparkles in my *eyes* when he proposed.

For some reason, I assumed that his proposal and my reaction would be less than extraordinary. Of course, our love is extraordinary, but the concept of spending our lives together was something we talked about every day. There would be no element of surprise, especially because he let me design my own ring. Even moving in together wasn’t a big deal, just a seamless transition.

Really, I should have known better!

The moment he asked me to marry him, with all the depth and sincerity and love in his eyes… that moment was extraordinary. Despite knowing all this time that it would happen, I was still stunned and in disbelief. You know that expression about hearts leaping? Well, that’s what mine did. My heart leapt out of its cage and started pounding in my throat.

This is it! He’s the one! And he wants no one else but me! And we are going to be together for forever and a day!

I was so busy tearing and crying and trying to calm my excited little heart down from my throat to back where it belonged… that I forgot to answer. Poor Mr. D.
