“Yes,” she whispered after a few seconds of stunned silence, and the store broke out in applause. Brittany hugged Lewis when he stood up, but she was still shocked.
“I think I need to sit down.”
They offered her coffee, and Carla started to explain what was happening. “Lewis invited me to stay at your house because he wanted help finding a ring. That’s what we’ve been doing all these days, and we were also trying to plan the proposal before I had to go.”
“I can’t believe this.
Thank you so much for helping him, Carla,” Brittany said, holding her hand on the table. She looked at Lewis. “I’m so sorry for my outburst.
I don’t know what I was thinking.”
“A few days ago, when your mother came, she implied that you might not want children with me because I haven’t asked you to marry me. So I decided to do it as soon as possible,” Lewis explained, and Brittany could almost kick herself for letting her paranoia get the best of her. She should’ve listened to the entire conversation between Lewis and her mother and not left halfway through.
“That’s so amazing.
I love you so much, honey,” she told him, and they kissed lightly in front of a smiling Carla, who became the maid of honor at their wedding four months later.
