he told me he had to work from home that day - little did i know the package of our dreams was being delivered in the mail. i got home and he was more chipper than usual, excited to walk the pups around our favorite park. we arrived and it had flooded, so plan A was out. he scrambled for new ways to ask, all while my ignorance was bliss. we returned to our loft apartment, i was doing the dishes when he crept around the corner and started to kneel. i thought he was passing out so i tried to help him back up. “let me do this” he said, presenting the ring. “did you ask my dad?” i said, as my knees grew weak themselves. it was just us, the pups staring from the living room too - we all said yes.
