I was similar to two hours late returning home from work. She was pissed. I mean raging. Beam is her top choice, and I had not gotten the nighttime off to a solid begin. I thought, 'This is culminate,' and stashed the cumbersome ring box in my pocket.
"In the midst of unmistakable strain and a cold gathering I was getting, after one of our main tunes, I stood her up and got down on one knee. I advised her that even on our most noticeably awful days—this being one of them—I couldn't envision existence without her. The cheers from above us were obviously for us, not Ray.

I let 'em smolder, hit the lights, and wildly walked about sitting tight for Lauren to arrive. There was sweat. When I heard her object with the entryway, I got my guitar and started strumming the harmonies to the tune I composed for her in secondary school. I gagged through the verses: 'It was the previous evening/ when I acknowledged/ that I could spend/ whatever remains of my/ evenings and days/ 'til I develop dim/ with you… "
