Popping The Question



It took me a moment to realise what she had just said, or rather asked me, from her position with one knee on the floor.

“It’s a simple enough question.”

I raised my hands.

“I know, I know, I just wasn’t expecting it, is all.”

“Well can I have an answer? I’m starting to lose feeling in my knee.”

“Look, I just can’t afford that kind of repair job for you right now…”
