Romeo & Juliet
"Amelia, would you just talk to me?"
If only she weren't so far along - about forty pounds heavier, all concentrated in the middle - it would be easier to take the stairs, to dodge his advances. "How could you possibly think that was a good time to propose!?" Amelia demanded.
"I was thinking about it and it just kind of came out."
"And you let it? We were on skype with my mother!"
He shrugged, a look of guilt across his brow.
"Do you know how long I'm going to have to hear about this? If I say 'no,' that'll never be the end of it."
Baby blues flashed. "Were you planning on saying 'no'?"
"I- That's not the point."
"Well you never did answer me."
"Because your timing was wildly inappropriate and so unromantic."
"So if I were to ask you again, in a more private, more romantic way, what would you say?"
"You'll have to try it and find out, won't you?" Yes - always yes.
