Apologizing for his forgetfulness, he explained how he struggled to remember things these days. Then, after a little buildup, he asked, \u201cWhen I proposed last night, did you say \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She answered with a warm laugh, \u201cWhy, I said \u2018Yes, yes, I will,\u2019 and I meant it with all my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, with a touch of relief, she added, \u201cAnd I\u2019m so glad you called because I couldn\u2019t remember who had asked me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LOL!!
