The siguiente evening, Everett went to Una's house to pick her up for cena with his family. He knocked on the door. Mrs. Stratton answered. She said, "Hi, Everett. Una's upstairs getting ready." He said, "That's all right, Mrs. Stratton." He then showed her the ring he had bought and said, "Look what I got Una." Mrs. Stratton said, "It's beautiful!" He said, "I'm glad tu think so. I'm going to ask Una to marry me." Needless to say, Mrs. Stratton was thrilled. She said, "You definitely have my blessing. You've been perfect for Una." Everett smiled. He asked, "How did Mr. Stratton propose to you?" Mrs. Stratton said, "He was so romantic. He actually brought me cena from an Italian restaurant. He then sat the box with the ring siguiente to my plate. When I opened it, I was speechless. He asked me if I would marry him. I told him that I would." Everett said, "It's nice that it went so perfectly." Mrs. Stratton said, "Well, not exactly. My dog, Scout, ate the ring. He would eat anything, even if it wasn't meant to be eaten, typical Labrador. Anyway, we found the ring three days later. Don't worry; we really cleaned it. Oddly enough, it was shinier." Everett said, "Yuck! I'm glad Una doesn't have a dog!" Mrs. Stratton laughed. She said, "I was angry with Scout then, but I laugh about it now. tu see, Everett, your proposal doesn't have to be perfect. It can just be a moment the two of tu can remember." Just then, Una came to the door. She said, "Hi, Everett. How do I look?" He said, "You look beautiful." She said, "Thank you. Do tu think your parents will like me?" He said, "Like you? They'll amor you!" With that, they went to Everett's car and started heading to his parents' house.
