Daniel proposes

 

It has been two years since Margo and Daniel fell in love. And everything has been wonderful. Daniel had finished school last year. And he was working for his father accounting firm and going to college part time to get his license he has three months left. And Margo has three months left before she graduates from high school. Then she has two years to do her nursing school. Daniel wants to wait to propose to her when she gets out of high school. And then wait until she gets out of nursing school to get married. by then they will have saved enough to afford the wedding they want, and a place of their own. They are both very level headed young people and know what they want out of life; they have plans for their future and intend to stick to them. Although sometimes Margo wishes they could just throw caution to the wind and get married now, but she knows it will be better to stick to their plans.

It was early afternoon Margo was lying across her bed, thinking about Daniel, as always. She loved him so much she could hardly think about anything else. And she knew without a doubt, that Daniel loved her too. She had never been more sure about anything her whole life. But the selfish side of her wanted to be Daniels wife now. Even though she knew they should stick to their plans and wait a part of her longed for the wait to be over. The sound of the telephone ringing startled Margo, she had been so preoccupied thinking about the future. She picked up the phone and said hello, it was her mother Joanne.  Oh, hi mom, what’s up? Joanne said, I have to work about an hour longer than normal. And Daniel and his parents are coming for dinner. Could you cook for me? Sure I will mom, don’t you worry dinner will be just fine. Ok and thanks Margo you are a life saver. Oh yeah honey could you lay out my red dress and the new black heels I bought the other day they are both in the closet. Everything will be ready mom, when you get here all you will have to do is get dressed and enjoy dinner. Thanks sweetie said Joanne, and Margo I love you. I love you too mom bye.
