"Here we are!" Said Jack. They were standing outside of Jack's house.
"Well, Jack. I, uh... don't know what to say. Um, are you sure you want to do this?" Asked Sally in a confused, but hopeful voice.
"Of course I do. Just trust me on this one." Said Jack. He was still surprized that Sally had agreed to move in with him so quickly.
"Well, ok. I trust you Jack." Jack put his arm around her shoulders and guided Sally up the stairs. Pulling a key from his pocket he unlocked the door.
"Sally, welcome to your new home!" He said proudly as he swung the door open.
"Oh Jack, the house is so beutiful. I'm...I'm speechless."
"You don't have to say anything. I'm just glad you like it. Oh, wait. I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
"You won't know until tonight."
"Oh Jack, you sneaky little thing you. You know I hate to wait."
For the next few hours Sally cleaned up, washed the dishes, dusted, and did anything else that would pass the time. She was restless. Knowing that she would be getting something that night was really messing with her. But what she didn't know was that Jack's plan would change her for the rest of her life.
The clock read 8:00. She was starting to get worried. Just then the doorbell rang. A loud scream filled the whole house.
"I'm coming!" She screamed out.
As she opened the door Jack popped up with a smile on his face. It was starting to really creep her out.
"Oh Jack! Where have you been? I've been waiting all day for you to come home."
" That isn't the issue right now. But I do have your surprise." He said.
"Thats great, what is it?" She asked.
"Sally, I'm making dinner for us tonight. Why don't you go get ready." Jack knew what he was doing. The plan was to get her out of the room and slip the ring into the pocket of the new mink coat that he had just bought that afternoon.
Just as soon as he put the brightly wrapped box under his chair Sally walked in.
"Oh Jack. Dinner looks so good. I can't wait to eat." She was really surprised. A romantic dinner, candles, and soon to be a new mink coat. It just felt like so much was being given to her all at once.
"Well Sally. Lets eat." He was so excited. The hardest part of it all was keeping a straight face.
Once they were done eating Sally went and sat down on the couch. Jack grabbed the box and sat down beside her.
"Whats that?"
"Your surprise."
"In the box?"
"Yes." He handed the box over to her and watched her unrap it. Once she had it open she screamed.
"Oh Jack, I love it. How did you find one this color?" She asked. It was this horrible green mint color.
"It wasn't easy. Look in the pocket." There was a huge grin on his face by now. The excitement was too much for him to handle.
As soon as she pulled out the small black box and opened it tears began to roll down her face.
"Whats wrong Sally. Don't you like it."
"Of course I like it. Infact, I love it. I'm just so happy."
"Does that mean yes?"
"Yes Jack. I will marry you!"
