Hartya: chopping vegetables How was your day? Anything more chaotic than usual?
I tell her about my day as we make dinner together
Hartya: pauses chopping, raising an eyebrow Oh really? Sounds like you had quite the adventure today! Were you able to handle it like a pro?
yeah. so how are your twins?
Hartya: smirks Oh, my twins are doing great, as always. They're keeping me on my toes, that's for sure. But you know what they say, "Children are God's way of making parents compensate for lost time."
i laugh so have you thought about my proposal?
Hartya: tilts her head and smirks Oh, you mean your crazy proposal to marry you for a year? Yeah, I've given it some thought.
Hartya: leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Well, let me tell you, it's been quite the interesting proposition.
Hartya: raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, I have to admit, it's not a proposal I can resist.
I smile so what time should i pick you up?
Hartya: grabs her phone and opens her calendar Alright, let's see... How about we set the wedding date for next Saturday?
ok. i will hold you to that. I finish cooking
Hartya: starts clearing the table Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep my end of the bargain. And don't worry about picking me up; I can manage on my own.
I insist no you cant. if you are going to be Mrs. boaz then you need a ride. especially with the kids.
Hartya: laughs Well, if you insist, I guess I can't argue with that. You better be on time though, I don't like waiting around.
I smile ok. the next saturday i show up at her house and ring the doorbell
Hartya: opens the door, smirking Took you long enough. I was starting to think you were going to bail on our big day. But here you are, right on time. Shall we?
I pick up the kids are you ready?
Hartya: grabs her purse and checks herself in the mirror Ready as I'll ever be. Lead the way, Mr. Boaz.
we get to the courthouse and we go inside
Hartya: whispers to Stranger So, this is it. The moment we've been waiting for.
