What Do You Mean Today?

"Well, Mei found him. You know the rest."

"Hmmm." Midori knew how fond the couple is of the little guy. "Did you also get your clothes dirty?" She was indirectly questioning his change.

"Hmmm." He just nodded.

Midori looked around them. The garden was vast, and there was a pool adjacent to the house that would be an infinity when viewed against the lake. The garden was filled with bushes of different flowers. "It's so beautiful here." She had a bright smile as she took in the surroundings.

She turned to him. "I wonder who owns..." She gasped on the sight.

Right there, in front of her, he was down on one knee.

"I know that we have talked about this, but I'll ask again anyway. Midori Xiu, will you be my wife starting today?" He opened a red velvet box containing a ring.
