The Ring

Backtracking to the time before they started dating, on an ordinary night after Janet's yoga class, Edmond was walking her home. He was thinking about asking her out as his girlfriend. Desperately looking for a coffee shop around her home so they could sit down and talk, it was about 10:30 at night and most of the cafes were closed. So the two of them decided to sit at the park just around the corner. Edmond was asking Janet whether she could be his girlfriend. Out of no where, a tricky right hand drew out a ring for Janet to show his dedication in this relationship. (Ed never gave out any rings unless he thinks she is the one~) She was shocked by his intention and soon after, they starting dating.

THEN, on April 14, 2008 (yet another ordinary night), after dinner with Ed's family at his place, he drove her home. As usual, they walked by the little park before hitting her apartment and he was asking whether she would be interested in sitting down and chatting for a little while (on the very same bench that he had given her the 1st ring). Janet, a bit surprised by this sudden request, agreed. With Ed being a talkative person, he was so quiet that it didn't feel normal (according to Janet's testimony). To break the silence, down on his knees, he proposed to Janet, along with the presentation of the 2nd ring. She didn't say yes, but she kept nodding because her mind went blank and that was the only reaction she could offer at the moment.
