Model A Man · 10-30-2011, 12:35 AM

Awhile back some may remember my post about a lady friend that always felt bad when I would do nice things for her, like work on her model A, do repairs around her house, bring her flowers, pay for her dinner, and that I was always telling her that I loved her and she said she has never had anyone be so kind to her. Some said I should ease up and I thought about it, but that's not me. I kept being myself and today I was at her house working on her model A and I called her into the garage telling her she needed to step on the brake petal for me. When she got into the car I bent down on one knee and asked her to be my wife and presented her with a ring. She said yes.
