The Storm

encouragement from Delores to think about these things during our times together helped me in my decision, and what a decision it was! "Thank you, Henry," I thought, "and thank you Delores for being genuine."

I was emboldened now, and I said, “I just made a decision tonight that will change my life forever. And I will ask you, now, to consider making a decision tonight that will change both of our lives.” I slid a little gold box across the white tablecloth , opened it and asked, “Will you marry me, Delores?” “Of course, Zach!” she sweetly responded. “I've been waiting for you to ask me."
