Well
there you are son, said
Ted as he stood to shake his hand. Hi dad, hi mom, sorry
I was late I picked up some flowers for Margo. Well they are
beautiful said Marilyn. Thanks mom said Daniel and he leaned
over and kissed her cheek. Then he looked around to see if Margo
was coming, and then he said but not as beautiful as this, and
with that said he opened the ring box. Oh my goodness, said
Marilyn, you are right son. Wow said
Ted
then he laughed and said, do I pay you enough for that. Daniel
stuck it back into his pocket, and the three of them laughed.
About that time Margo walked into the room.
my
goodness she said, someone is in a good mood. Daniel walked over
and put his arms around her and said, yeah sweetie, dad was just
telling me he needed to give me a raise. Well, said Ted,
that’s not exactly what I said, but I think it is about time I
do. Great said Margo more money
never hurts, and then
she laughed. Well anyway, she said dinner is ready. Good said Ted,
cause I am starving. Marilyn said, Come on Ted, let’s give the kids a few
minutes alone and off the two of them went.
After his parents left the room, Daniel smiled at Margo and
said, wow, that's some dress, it’s beautiful, but then you
look good in anything he said, then smiled at her and said, have
I told you lately that I love you
Margo white? Why yes you have Daniel Rodgers, but it’s always
nice to hear it again. Then she kissed him and said, we better
not keep them waiting, so they went off to join the others in
the kitchen.
Latter after everyone
had eaten dinner, Joanne said, I made a special desert for
dinner, you did say Margo I didn't see anything .oh I brought it
home with me, said Joanne. But it's a little big,
so Daniel if you don't mind, can you help me with it? Daniel said, sure I
would be happy to help.
Margo sat there with a look of confusion on her face. Daniel said, Margo the
dinner was wonderful, you have done enough and I don't mind
helping so off to the kitchen went Daniel and Joanne.
in a few minutes they
came back Daniel held a large serving tray, filled with desert
bowls. Starting at the far end of the table he set out the
desert bowls, when he got to Margo he said this one my love,
is just for you.
Well thank you Daniel
she said, then she looked down at the dish, she couldn't believe
her eyes. There in the bowl was the ring box, was the most
beautiful ring she had ever seen. She looked at Daniel with
tears in her eyes, he had gotten down on one knee, he reached
out and took her hand in his and said, Margo Elisabeth white,
will you
do me the honor of being my wife ?she looked into those baby
blue eyes of his and said, yes, oh yes, a million times yes. I
love you Daniel Rodgers and I can't wait to be your wife. Just
like Margo, Joanne and Marilyn had tears pouring down their
cheeks. Bob and Ted
looked at each other. Then bob said, women they will cry over
anything, and then he and Ted laughed. Finally
Margo was able to speak without crying, she looked at her
parents and his and she said, you guys knew all about this
didn't you,
then she hugged them
all.
Later after dinner, she and Daniel went for a drive her head was
still spinning from all the excitement. so
she laid her head on Daniels shoulder. And she put her hand on
his knee. Then she said, I love you Daniel thank you for such a
beautiful evening, you are welcome my love but this is only the
beginning. I know said Margo I can hardly wait to spend the rest
of my life with you. I feel the same way Margo, then he pulled
the car over to the side of the road, and took her in his arms
and kissed her and said, don’t you worry about anything Margo,
our plans are right on track.
I know said Margo, but sometimes I’m scared that something
will go wrong. He put his hand under her chin, and he lifted her
head, where she
was staring into his beautiful baby blue eyes, and said, look at
me Margo, nothing or no one can take me from you. I promise you
that. And then he kissed her, and she knew in her heart, he was
right.
