Tom completely got me

It was a Wednesday night, and he told me we were attending a work dinner at the Milleridge Inn. I tried to get myself out of this dinner, so much so that Tom had to start calling my coworkers because I volunteered to cover them the night he planned on proposing. We walked into the […]
