Winter 08'

He takes one knee
"Are you serious?"
"Are you serious?" she says, the tiny black velvet box is in his hands.
She collapses perfectly, gracefully
"Yes, Yes"
they stand up together, he helps her up, and they kiss
I pause wanting the moment, their moment too be perfect... then shout across the still frozen water and all the brilliant white that is Humboldt Park and the winter.
"Way to go guys..... Wooo!!!"
They look and wave together, big wide goofy swings with their arms and I wave back and call to the dog and we continue running through the snow.


(If I'm lying I'm dying... I went running with Bear and saw two people get engaged on the fishing pier in Humbolt Park this winter... this is their story.)
