The New Year’s Proposal That Broke Us

Summary

On New Year's Eve, I signed for a package containing a diamond ring.

After triple-checking that the recipient's name was indeed my husband's, I called out to the delivery driver, confused.

"Are you sure this is right? Maybe it's someone with the same name. I'm already married..."

At that exact moment, my husband's call came through.

"Honey," he started, his voice hesitant. "Did a package arrive by any chance?"

Sensing the caution in his tone, I played along.

"No, nothing. Were you expecting something?"

He let out a visible sigh of relief over the phone.
