Will you marry me?”
I was in shock for a full ten seconds before I realized what was happening. I threw my arms around him and kissed him as hard as I could.
“Is that a yes?” he asked, when I pulled away.
“Yes! Yes, yes, yes!” I shrieked.
His face broke into a wide smile. “Thank God,” he said then.

I am a die-hard Red Sox fan, and yes, I dated a Yankee fan. I know I should be kicked out of The Nation for that, but I couldn’t help it. He was way too charming back then.

Monica AlexanderI didn’t say anything. I just took his hand in mine, and laid it over my heart that was still pounding wildly in my chest. I wasn’t sure why I did it, or where my logic went in that particular moment.
