Luckier than I deserve to be, yes. Now I just have to hold out home that she says yes. It...won't mean anything when we leave here, since neither of us will remember it ever happening, but it will mean something for as long as we're here. It will mean everything.

Yes, well, I'm glad you don't have to.

...best of luck to you with that. And I mean that sincerely.
