Proposal

Roger pulled up to the mail receptacle and fumbled around looking for the bill that was to be sent on its way.

As he turned to Marie, he gave her a half smile and said, “Let’s get married.” As casually as you would say the sky is blue.

Marie had a puzzled expression on her face, but said, “Sure. Let’s.” With a laugh about to erupt, she notice him pull out a ring box and half throw it at her.

They were on their way again. Marie opened the box to find a rather plain looking gold ring with a small diamond in it. She tried the ring on. It was a little too large.

Was this it? Was this the proposal she expected?
