Proposal No. 18: Still Lost to Her Childhood Sweetheart

Summary

When I propose to Hailey Morgan for the 18th time, she turns me down for the sake of her childhood friend, Eric Dawson, once again.

We've been dating for eight years. So far, I've proposed 18 times to her.

But whenever the proposal takes place, Hailey keeps saying that Eric is depressed, so she can't leave his side.

As I look at the ring, I can't resist asking, "If Eric is depressed for the rest of his life, does this mean you won't marry me in this lifetime?"

Hailey gets mad at me right away. She snatches the ring before throwing it at the floor.
