One night in November, I took the day off from work and Athena had no clue. I went to a flower shop and bought some rose petals and EVERY SINGLE rose they had. The inside of my car smelled great for weeks! I went home and covered every flat surface I could find with bouquets with a trail of petals leading back to our bedroom. I paced back and forth waiting her return. I heard keys jingling and I knew it was time. She walked in and I was waiting on one knee... "Will you marry me?"
