Jo:... Malcolm James Waters. I am switching to text because how dare you!

Jo:Did you seriously just ask me to marry you over EMAIL???

Jo:And you write about love. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Mal:Jesus, Jo. This obviously doesn’t count

Mal:God, does it count? It doesn’t right?

Mal:Forget I said anything. Erase this completely from your memory. I’ll do it better later

Jo:excuse you! who said I want to forget?

Jo:I’m a bougie bitch who’s hard to impress. You’re right to be scared.

Jo:Sooooo I’ll make it easy for you. My ring size is 6.5, and I want a 2 to 2.5 carat Asscher cut solitaire. Think Liz Taylor. Lab diamond, no colored stones, nothing from the ground. Yellow gold, 18k. No dinners, no public places, somewhere pretty and private. And I want a photographer hiding in the bushes.

Jo:If these conditions are met within the next... nine months, I will most likely say yes. Potentially.

Mal:All right, bet.??????Now you got me excited

Mal:How about we make it six, and we have a deal.

Jo:I think I can work with that.
