3. MY LAST DATE!
It was a regular day of work, I had a long boring meeting and a ton of things to do,
when I received a phone call from Mike; He wanted to know about my day, I told him it wasn’t a
good time.
He called back ten minutes later, and invited me to a restaurant; it was a nice one
actually, so I took a minute to think about it and decided to go. After work I went home and got
into a nice dress, and then I took a cab and got to the restaurant a little bit late. He had this
worried look, I apologized. We had a great dinner, we relaxed and drank some wine, it was a
perfect ending for a busy day, just what I needed. Suddenly Mike did something I didn’t expect,
he dropped in one knee. What a surprise, it was such unexpected way to end our date, and
