Skylar and I have been talking a lot lately about what we’re doing after graduation, which is quickly approaching. I have a few leads, thanks to one of my professors, at an accounting firm in Ann Arbor, which will work out perfect if Mira decides to stay for grad school. I can get us a house or apartment in town, close to school for her and work for me. It’s funny when you’re so deep in love that everything you do or plan for revolves around your partner. I told Mira, very early on, that I was going to marry her one day and she made me promise. I guess it’s high time I make good on that promise. I skip classes today and go back to the same jewelry store I bought her watch from a few years ago. I don’t expect them to remember me, but when they do, I know it’s a sign that I’m doing the right thing. “What can I help you with?” the woman behind the counter asks. “I’m looking for a ring. An engagement ring for my girlfriend.”
