The kids seriously missed their father. It's obvious. They've been dancing for two hours straight! Auralie cut out after forty minutes because her leg was tired and she doesn't know how to dance in her wheelchair. But Mike and the others are still going at it.
Suddenly, something falls from Michael's vest pocket and something tiny rolls to the edge of the dance floor. I go over to the edge of the dance floor and pick it up. It's a... a ring?

This isn't his ring from Marilyn.
Is he planning to propose to me?
