Imminent Proposal

I need to stop teasing Bella about the "imminent proposal" being when she least expects it. In my joking tonight, she misunderstood my poorly thought out joke as a forthcoming hint of the proposal. I told her it was a joke, and apologized profusely. But I did make it clear to her that the proposal is indeed imminent. Oh, it will happen. That I guarantee. There's no way I'm letting this girl go! She truly is the most amazing person I know. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have her as a girlfriend. But I'm the lucky one. For once in my life--when it matters most--I'm the lucky one. Wow! Go figure.
