Subject: Are you serious?
You seriously think he's going to propose? Melissa, the two of you have only been going
out for a couple of months. Less, even. I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I really
don't think you should get your hopes up. I bet anything if you'd looked in that bag
you'd have seen socks. Men are weird that way.

Subject: I should have looked, shouldn't I?
I just couldn't. It just seemed so...wrong. To look, I mean.
But Nadine, lots of people have gotten engaged after having gone out way less time than
John and I have been together. Seriously, I think my parents knew each other for about
ten minutes before they decided to get married. Not that I think that's what's in the bag.
A ring, I mean. I totally don't. I'm sure it's just socks.
But what if it isn't? That's all I'm saying. A girl can dream, can't she?

Subject: So I take it that if it is a ring,
you intend to say yes? Is that it?
Not that I think you shouldn't. Only....
Only there's nothing wrong with waiting. Really. I mean, you should at least, out of
common decency, wait until his aunt is out of her coma, or dead. Whichever comes first.
Don't you think?
