It was late January and Liam’s coat magnificently concealed the ring box, and the night was to start at an escape room. Indoors, so coats off… curveball. As Diana and Camila hung their coats, Liam slyly snuck around a post and slipped the ring box into his pocket while blocked from view, then circled back - not flustered at all - to hang up his coat. Now, on to the adventure! It was a decent sized group, and Liam kept his hands awkwardly covering his pockets while attempting to participate without drawing attention. They made it through, and next up was dinner at the Scorpion Bar - a gothic skull-centric From Dusk Till Dawn vibe haunt. The ideal spot, and this will be the moment, ladies and gents, we’ve been waiting for. We got drinks and apps. Liam got up… to use the restroom. You can do this, he stuttered clumsily to himself washing his hands for a full 2x run through of the Happy Birthday Song (there are no shortcuts to good hygiene). Back to the table. Deep breath. The ring box is clasped tightly in Liam’s hand, out of sight but ready to appear. Here we go… with club music?!? At a certain time of night, this chill city bar becomes an all-out dance hub, which is good to know if you’re planning a more conversational evening. Big drinks and shots took the stage, a mob of strangers filled the floor, loud noises… and bass. So much bass. Liam will not be denied. So, to the parking lot! It’s late. Time for the usual goodbye pleasantries between Diana and Camila. Onward home they go. Diana’s exhausted. Liam is defeated. Goodnight, then. Good morning, and it hit Liam immediately. Goodnight, and good morning, with Diana. The perfect ending and beginning to every night and day, for as long as they both shall live. Liam gets out of bed, hurries back. Kneeling on the mattress, wobbling but ready, the ring box opens. She said yes. It’s on the internet so it has to be true. Plus, we were both there. As we will be on October 30st, 2021. We hope you will be too.
