so, we've been together for a moderate amount of time

beautiful, never start out a conversation like that pls and thanks

okay, well, we've been dating for a little bit

are you practicing the speech you're going to use to propose to me?

um... no?

I wasn't aware that five-ish months was when you're supposed to propose

my ex-girlfriend proposed at three

huh

so not what I wanted to talk about

I had to turn her down, didn't feel right

well, I'm glad

anyway, not what this whole conversation was about, mari

oh, right, you were being a total dork

you know, you're a lot like jared??

I'm pretty sure that's a compliment

if it's not, I'm telling jared

you're unbelievable

unbelievably amazing

you know, there is a point to this

really, because I dont see one?

move in with me?

what?

it occurred to me that the week after you left in january, sure, spending time with jj and icarus and oscar was great

but it's not the same without you

and I know this is a conversation we should not be having through text but you worked your way into my life with the memes and the stupid humor and your smile and your laugh and now that I've gotten a taste for you I don't think I can stop.

so, please, mari, honey, move in with me

I don't know why I expected differently

I'll take that as a yes

I love you, mari
