By the River Ness

On our first night in Inverness Scotland, Harley insisted we looked for a fancy place to dine out. We found a lovely restaurant (The Mustard Seed) and seeming like it was our very lucky day, we were given a table directly overlooking the river Ness even if we had no reservations and it's already almost fully booked. While sipping a glass of Saugvinon Blanc after the sumptuous main course, Harley ceremoniously handed me my long-awaited birthday gift. Though I had already known what it was (an LV bag that he had blurted out to me months before because he just couldn't keep a secret), I was still like a kid on Christmas morn eagerly tearing the gift wrapper apart. I was just simply in awe that he gave me a designer bag. He admitted it's a very impractical buy but he was willing to splurge out because to own one had been a fantasy of mine.

I thought that was it - the bomb. But when I opened the bag, I was blown away with the real surprise inside...

One rock would have been enough but he gave me six white diamonds. I would have just settled for one ring, but he went out of his way to spoil me with two - an eternity band and a solitaire. Of course my answer could only be one to the question he popped.

Yes. I'm (gasp) engaged!
