"Thanks for coming along with me," Dad says as I get into the passenger seat of his truck.
"I have to say I'm super interested, considering you told me nothing about what we're doing here. Were you being purposely obtuse, or did you really not know where we'd be going?" I ask, buckling in and getting comfortable.

"Okay, what is it?" I fold my arms over my chest. "You're making me sound untrustworthy."
"You're not. You just have a reputation. Anyway, do you wanna know this is about?"
"Of course. Why the secrecy?"
"I'm going to propose to Alexis, and I want you to come help me pick out the ring."
