Joanne
walked into the bedroom just as Bob was getting out of the
shower. He stood there wrapped in a towel, looking for his
clothes. Joanne reached over and kissed him. Then
said, how was work today honey?
It
was ok said Bob, a bit slower then it usually is. So, he said,
what made you so late today? Joanne reached into her purse and
pulled out a tiny jewelry box, this, she said. Is
that what I think it is, said Bob? Yes, said Joanne, she pulled
the box open, and there sat a beautiful ring, it was a small
white gold band with a large diamond in the middle and small
sapphires
around it.
Bob,
said that must have cost him a small fortune. Why did you have to
pick it up? Because the jewelry store would have been closed
before he got off, said Joanne. Oh I see said Bob then he
laughed and said, so do you think she'll say yes? Joanne couldn't
help laughing as she
said, I doubt if he
can get it out of his mouth, before she says
yes. Then they both laughed. Bob said ok you better get dressed
and I’ll go wait for our guests. Take the box with you and
give it to Daniel, but don't let
Margo see it. Don’t worry I won't said Bob, and he headed
downstairs.
He was just about downstairs when he heard the doorbell. I'll get it he
said.
He opened the door and their stood Ted and Marilyn,
come on in, and have a seat you two. I’ll go check on dinner
.on the way to the kitchen the doorbell rang again,
Bob opened the door again it was Daniel, well hello
Daniel, it’s good to see you, and he
reached his hand out to shake Daniels hand. As he did he slid
the ring box into Daniels hand. Good to see you too Mr. White
thanks. Go ahead and have a seat in the
living room, your
parents are already in there, and I’ll go
check on the ladies and dinner. Ok said Daniel and off to the
living room he went.
