Scene: The Park-Adam and Joan are having a picnic; they are accompanied by their beloved beagle named Sassy.
Situation: Adam asks a nineteen year old Joan Girardi to marry him
Joan (patting her beagle named Sassy): You are just so adorable, oh, yes you are
(Delighted, Sassy barks making Adam and Joan laugh)
Adam: I love Sassy as if she was my own child
Joan: I am looking forward to the day when Sassy will give us grandchildren. I will love the puppies nearly as much as I love her.
Adam (talking to Joan): I can't imagine myself with anyone else
Joan: You are stuck with me for life
Adam: I would like it to stay that way forever
Joan: So what is your point?
Adam (presenting Joan with a huge Diamond ring): Joan Agnes Girardi, will you marry me?
Joan (doubtful): Is this a April Fool's joke?
Adam: No, I mean it from my heart
Joan (overcome with emotion, she puts the ring on her finger): Yes, Adam, I will marry you
Adam: I know you are still struggling with the loss of Hope. Are you sure that you want to marry me right now?
Joan: I think we should get married since we are living together
Adam (kissing Joan): I love you, Jane
Joan (smiling): I love you too
(Excited, Sassy barks again in response to Adam and Joan's good news)
