One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another.
As the meal went on, he took a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered the courage to ask her, “Will you marry me?”
After about six seconds of ‘careful consideration’, she answered “Yes, I will.”
The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled.
“Did she say ‘yes’ or did she say ‘no’?”
He couldn’t remember try as he might, he just could not recall not even a faint memory.
With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.
First, he explained that he didn’t remember as well as he used to then he reviewed the lovely evening past.
