She made a decision

Standing on the chair, she and Tom had scratched away at the bones

That's what she remembered from her last boyfriend Tom. They began an idyllic courtship but in the end they were all discussions.

Now with Peter's proposal, she felt flattered since she had not had a good suitor for some time, her friend was certainly attractive to her but she did not want to risk.

Something that was in the environment was about government support for more marriages. Mary therefore was not convinced that Peter really was sincere.

She just thought inside what she would say to him later:

"I know there are lots of you who don’t like government interference

I am one of those people, I don't believe in the goodwill of what they want to show me as a gift."

She said it to Peter. He immediately sighed deeply:

"Mary, I didn't think you were going to get so tangled up with the promise I'm making you be together until the end of our days."

Mary replied:

"It seems little to you.

Now marriages do not last for a lifetime that only happened to my grandparents."

the blue envelope on the floor

What is this? Said Mary.

"Open it, maybe there is the answer to what you are looking for."

Mary opened the envelope and found a gift with a gold ring with a diamond set.
