I didn't figure that there was a reason to lie about it. Yes, I had seen it.
“Well, you put it in the wrong pocket. It was in my inside jacket pocket and when I left, it was in the outside pocket. I almost lost it in the car because I can never keep anything in those pockets.
“So why didn’t you say something?”
“Why didn't you?”
I sighed and told him it was because I had felt like a jerk.
“Why would you say that?”
“Because I was so freaked out to meet Caroline, and here you were going to ask me to marry you, and I hadn't even met your daughter yet. I figured it was something that needed to be fixed.”
“Is it because you didn’t think that it would be a good idea?”
It was hard for me to say that very thing. Sure, I had doubts.
“Yeah.”
“Ouch.”
“I think if you asked me, I would say yes.”
That made his smile a whole lot bigger. He didn't ask me a question, but he came toward me and gave me an answer.
