Jessie and Jay had been together for two years. They were very happy. Jessie watched John on TV weekly. She was waiting for Jay to come over. He'd been gone on a business trip for the last three days. The front door opened.
"It's me." Jay said. Jessie got up and happily went over to him. "Hi."
"Hi." They kissed. "Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"To the bedroom."
Afterwards they were laying there. She kissed him.
"Did you miss me or something?" He said smiling.
"Maybe a little bit."
"Jessie, I wanna have a baby."
"If we ever get married, ok."
"Deal."
Two nights later Jay came over for dinner. He was being unusually quiet.
"Jay what's wrong?" Jessie asked.
"Is it that obvious?"
"You haven't said more then a sentence since you've been here."
"I guess I should just tell you."
"Tell me what?" "What did you do Jay?
"Nothing." "My company transferred me to the New York City branch."
"When are you leaving?"
"Next week."
"So I guess we're breaking up."
"No."
"Well Jay, I live here."
"I know but I want you to come with me."
"You do?"
"Yeah." "There's another reason I've been so quiet, I'm nervous."
"About what?"
"I wasn't planning to ask you this just yet but I don't have anymore time to wait." He took something out of his pocket and got down on one knee in front of her.
"Oh my god." She said shocked.
"Jessie when we were kids I was stupid and let you go." "I don't want to make that mistake again." He opened the box. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes." He put the ring on her finger. They kissed. "I love you."
"I love you too."
