It’s been a long day at work, I’m exhausted, I tried to get into my car but I wasn’t fast enough and rain beat me. I’m driving to mine but yours is closer so I’m making a quick stop to say hi. I walk in and you’re so focused you didn’t even hear my key turn in the knob.

I creep up behind you and peer into your laptop screen. You’re planning to propose to me, you’ve put together a list of everyone I love, you’ve gotten surprise tickets to Italy for us and the diamond ring is right there- exquisite.

I sneak back out through the back door in the blistering cold, get into my car and I’m crying, real thug tears. Like phew, someone loves me loves me.

My phone beeps and it’s you- Milan next week? It’s for work.

I drive home laughing and crying intermittently. I text Dara- hey baby, we have a wedding to plan.
