I knew it was coming, I was there when he ordered the ring.
Right now he lives in San Diego and I live in LA so I had a clue what was up when he anxiously insisted that I meet him in Riverside (halfway between) where we met our freshman year at UCR.
We met up at our favorite coffee shop and then went for a drive to a park that overlooks the city where we had gone many times when we lived there. We hiked out to a rocky out crop and sat down to watch the rabbits and birds that live out on the hill.
We sat there talking and after a while he got up, dug a box out of his pocket and went down on one knee.
