A plan
Myles knew that he needed to propose to Tracie sooner rather than later because she might get tired of waiting and walk out on him. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him, it was just that she wanted to keep her life moving forward. So Myles bought a ring and planned the proposal out nicely.
He took Tracie out to a nice dinner and made sure that he didn’t look suspicious at all. He had already asked her parents in private if they would give him the blessing to marry their daughter, which they agreed to happily. All it was going to take now was for him to ask the question.
