"You're back!"
"I was gone for two days, silly."
"Your traveling schedule is too complicated for my simple lifestyle."
"Simple?"
"Yep."
"Whatever you say, my doode."
"Did you win your game?"
"You didn't watch me play on tv?"
"Of course I did! I just wanted to hear it from you."
"Oh, okay. Well, we won against Germany 5-3. I was surprised that coach didn't cut off my head for that one missed shot."
"We all have our off days, Harp."
"I know. When's your next game?"
"I'm not sure."
"Are you kidding me Oliver?"
"No...?"
"It's like I'm living with a child."
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to move in with me after college."
"We're going to deliberately ignore that little fact."
"Whatever you say."

"..."
"Ooh, it feels good to sit down."
"Uh, I was actually about to ask if you to go take a walk around the park?"
"Oh, yeah, sure. Just let me try to get back up."
"Here, let me help."
"..."
"..."
"Thanks."
"Anything for you Harp."

"So, is there a reason that I'm walking in the park while it's freezing cold outside?"
"Uh..."
"Oliver? Why do you look so nervous? Are you sick? Did something happen?"
"N-no, I'm perfectly okay. Just, I want to tell you a joke, okay?"
"Sure..."
"Okay. Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Marry."
"Marry who?"
"Marry me."
"..."
"..."
"Ohmygosh, Oliver..."
"Haper Gold, I have loved you since the day I threw sand into your eyes in the sandbox when we were four-years-old. We have been through so much, but I want to go through life with you. I want you to always be able to cry into my shoulder, or laugh at my stupid jokes. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. You're my rock, and I want to go to bed every night holding you and wake up to you drooling on my chest, because I love you and all your quirks. Please, will you do me the biggest honor and marry me."
