“Archer! What are you doing?”
“You said as soon as I pull out a ring, you’re going to scream yes. Why aren’t you screaming yes?”
“How—”
“At night, you get all of these notifications and I might have seen a few on your screen. So, I started following theBoss Be Damnedwebsite, and there are some interesting things on there about bosses. But the most interesting thing is what you said this morning. So, I’m going to ask you again. Will you marry me and have all my babies?”
“I will! I will marry you. Yes!” Archer stands to his feet and places a huge custom-cut diamond ring on my finger. I fling myself into his arms.
“Great, when you visit your mother tonight, you have some news to share.”
“Oh, no, you’re coming with me. She’s going to want to know all about you once she sees this ring.”
“Gladly,” he pulls me in for a kiss. “I would love to meet your parents. It’s time to start meeting each other’s family. Thanks for agreeing to be my wife. I plan to make you the happiest woman alive.”
“You have no idea how happy I am. I am happy to work with you. Happy to be your future wife. Happy to share a life with you. Just happy,” I exclaim.
He looks like he’s ready to eat me where I stand. “You are too kind to me. Can I marry you today?”
“Mr. Gates, your nine o’clock meeting is here,” Regina’s voice comes on the phone’s intercom sitting on my desk.
We chuckle, knowing that our workday lies ahead and that we are blessed to be able to spend this one and many more together. The best part is the many nights we get to spend together as well. Soon, we’ll be doing all of this as husband and wife.
The End, For Now
