Of course, being me, I had to put a twist on it.
I took the ring out of the box, put a nice little watch in the box, wrapped it, put it under the tree, hid the ring elswhere.
She grabbed the box at first opportunity (she knew she was getting a ring) and opened it, only to find a watch.
She tried to conceal her disappointment (hey it was a nice watch).
But it was obvious she was a bit disappointed, so I knelt down, pulled the ring out of my pocket (where I'd hidden it while she was opening presents) and asked her to marry me. Her face really lit up. |
