The proposal

Early in the week last week I was up texting Jimmy at around 5am. Then he phones. Yes at five in the morning. I pick up and I'm quiet as I expect most of my family to sleep through that loud ring. Hello, I say. Jimmy talks quietly to in more of a mocking manner. His voice goes serious. "Lorna, do you think it will be possible for us to spend the rest of our lives working as one unit." And sat for a second thinking about this decision. It's huge. It's kind of a big deal. I say to him. "Jimmy, I think it would be a mistake if i were to answer with anything but YES!" Jimmy says, "That wasn't my proposal." I say, "oh." And Jimmy says "I'm down on one knee. I can't believe I'm doing this. Lorna Wagner will you take me to be your husband.." Without him finishing his sentence I say "YES!" He continues, "I'm not finished yet, Will you take me to be your husband? To marry me and walk through hardships and trials with me? I Love you more than I have ever loved anyone." Once again I say, "Yes, I will walk through trials and hold your hand through hardships. Yes, I will Marry you." He makes a kissing sound on the phone and I make one back. We talk for a bit longer and hang up after saying, "I love you!"
"I love you!"
"I love you more! "
"I love you most!"

"Goodmorning"

"Goodnight"
