Garret and Anna pt. 2

and now for something cheerier, like I promised

I had asked her out to the Romance Festival in San My for our three month anniversary. I never thought I’d be one of those saps to celebrate monthly anniversaries, but apparently I am with her. We had a great time, lots of staring into each other’s eyes and being two dorks in love, the love guru even said we’d be together forever…which is why when I walked her home from the train, I got this crazy idea.

Anna: I could have walked back on my own. It’s literally just a few blocks.

Garret: Yeah right babe. There could any number of weirdos walking around your neighborhood. Not gonna happen.

Anna: Well thank you anyway. *laughs* You’re cute when you’re concerned for my safety in the most suburban neighborhood ever.

Garret: *hehe* Yeah…hey listen, i was thinking about what the guru said….

Anna: You know she’s just a con they probably hired from the local psychic shop right?

Garret: Babe, I’m trying to be romantic for a second, please let me talk.

Anna: *cheeky grin* Okay…

Garret: Um, well…I was thinking on the train back, uh…we’re too young to get engaged, but, uh…would you maybe… wannabemineforeverandexchangepromiserings?

Anna: …What?

Garret: I get that we’re too young, but I was just wondering…do you want to exchange promise rings?

She was quiet for a minute or two, my heart was palpitating waiting for her answer. All I could think about was this is it, she’s gonna leave me for being the biggest doofus on the planet, but then she said “Yes.”
