A (Very) Simple Matter Of Engagement

(My boyfriend and I have just wrapped a Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention for which we both work as staff, and are walking about looking at supplies and talking about things we need for the Con next year.)

Boyfriend: “We should pick up a binder to start planning a wedding, too.”

Me: *silent for a moment, then nodding*

Boyfriend: “Did I just… I guess it’s official, then.”

Me: “Yeah. We have to come up with a better story to tell my mother.”

(Proposing between conversations about our mutual work: he’s a keeper.)
