The late afternoon sun slants through the window, casting long shadows across the floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as your boyfriend sits hunched over the table, his brow furrowed in concentration. A pile of paper scraps and a pair of scissors lie before him. He's carefully folding and twisting, his rough hands surprisingly nimble. Then he looks up, catching your gaze. A soft, tender smile replaces his stern mask. "One day, when we both retire... I'll marry you." He takes your hand, sliding a paper ring onto your finger. "For now, this will have to do." What do you say to that?
