A push present!

WTF is a push present?

Dylan

You are so lucky you have me. Husbands always get their wives push presents for after they have the baby.

Why have I never heard of this?

Dylan

IDK, but you’d better share this information with your brothers

Yeah, I got you, but is a push present a diamond ring?

Dylan

No, but you can tell her you want it to be a surprise. Get her to pick a bunch of things she likes, and make one of them a diamond ring.

Liv’s too smart for that.

Dylan

Of course she is, but it’ll still keep her guessing about when…

I guess that’s the best I can do.

Dylan

I’M SO EXCITED!!!

This means you have to watch the next game or you’ll miss it.

Dylan

OR! I can get Logan to call me when it happens.

You can watch with Thomas on his little TV in the kitchen.

Dylan

His lucky TV.

Maybe it’ll make me lucky.

Dylan

You don’t need luck. She loves you. I’m so happy!!!

Dylan’s confidence boosts mine. Seeing my girl is in love with me in print makes it feel more official somehow, even if it is just a text from my little sister. Also, Dylan’s plan is pretty solid. I’ll have to remember how sneaky she is next time I have to pull off a surprise.

“I thought we were going to brunch?” Liv’s brow furrows when I take a turn on Fifth Avenue away from the restaurant.

“Just need to make a quick stop.” I lead her to the brass and glass, art deco front doors of Tiffany & Co.

“Garrett…” She hesitates, pulling her hand out of my arm. “What are we doing?”

Her reaction fans the anxiety simmering in my chest, but I push through it and smile, focusing on Dylan’s ruse.
