"Thanksgiving is only two weeks away." Carrie commented as they sat down to dinner. Justin and Keith had come over for some of Carrie's specialty: Lasagna. Carrie walked around the table and poured each of them a glass of Lambrusco.
"Know what I'm most thankful for?" Keith asked as she poured his wine.
"What's that?"
"You," Keith grabbed her arm. She looked down at him and smiled. Taking the wine bottle from her hand, he cleared his throat. "Carrie," his voice cracked anyway. "Will you marry me?" He held up an engagement ring for her to see.
Kim gasped, Justin smiled, and Carrie burst into tears.
"Oh my god. Yes!" she wailed and bent down to hug him.
Keith pulled her left hand up so he could put the ring on her finger. His hand shook so bad he could hardly get it on her. He laughed at himself.
Justin raised his glass. "To the newly betrothed." Everyone fumbled for their glasses to clink them together.
