An ice pick is jabbing me in my right temple.
It feels that way, anyway. The pain is enough to make my eyes fly
open, giving me a view of the cracks on my bedroom ceiling. The intense
light pouring through the window by the bed doesn’t make the situation any
better. But after a few seconds, the pain dulls to a mild ache behind my right
eye. Bearable.
This always happens when I have too much wine at night. I haven’t
been able to hold my liquor since I was twenty-five. And last night, I
definitely had too much wine.
But I couldn’t help it. It isn’t every night that I get engaged.
I roll my head to the side and gaze at the sleeping lump beside me. No,
not just a sleeping lump. My fiancé. The man I’m going to marry. Harry.
It’s not like it was a huge surprise. We have, after all, been living
together for over a year. And after our one-bedroom apartment on the lower
east side went condo six months ago, we bought a big old house in Queens
together, within reasonable commuting distance of Manhattan. After we
went in on the mortgage together, we were pretty much stuck with each
other. Even more so than if we got married. I mean, a divorce is easy. But
splitting up this house would be such a hassle.
As I lie in bed, I replay the events of last night in my head. I have a
feeling I’m going to be telling this story a lot. To my father. Possibly to our
future children someday. At the very least, my best friend Lucy will want to
hear every juicy detail.
So we had just finished dinner and were going to watch a movie
together, but I told Harry I wanted to check my email first. I was confused
by the way he followed me to my laptop, tripping over his feet in his
eagerness. It didn’t make sense until I opened my laptop—he had replaced
the keys on my keyboard. The new keys spelled out: WILL YOU MARRY
ME?
And then when I turned to look at him, he was down on one knee,
holding a blue velvet box, gazing up at me with his deep brown eyes. The
diamond was small, but the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
I was shocked. So shocked that I made the poor guy wait just a little
too long before answering, and he looked a bit nervous. He reached out and
grabbed my hand. “Please marry me, Tess,” he said. “You’re my whole
life.”
Of course, I said yes. I mean, I’m crazy about the guy.
To celebrate our engagement, Harry popped the cork on the really
good bottle of Cabernet that he had stashed away in the kitchen cabinet for
a special occasion.
I’m pretty sure that bottle is now lying empty on our
coffee table, hence my pounding headache. We spent the evening talking
about what we wanted to do for a wedding, but especially where we wanted
to go for our honeymoon. Someplace hot with lots of beaches.
