Ed had been with Liza for nearly two years now. His Divide Tour was over and he had a little more time to spend with her.
He sat up in bed and kissed Liza on the cheek. She yawned and sat up.
"Good morning love." He said.
"Good morning."
He patted her shoulder with his left hand and Liza felt cold metal. She grabbed his hand in both of hers.
"How long have you been wearing this?" She asked pointing to his silver ring.
He laughed.
"What?" Liza said confused.
"Nothing." Ed added.
He smiled at her.
"Time to get up. I'm afraid I'll be in the studio today, so you'll need to ride with Ron in his lift."
Liza sighed. She hated when Ed was in the studio. For three weeks he was so tired when he came home that he couldn't even speak. She hated it.
"Alright." She finally said.
"Put on something fancy." He said in his adorable American accent.
Liza laughed and picked out a dress.
Ed hurried to give Liza a kiss before heading out the door.
"See you tonight love!" He shouted from downstairs.
"I love you!" Liza chimed.
"I love you too!"
And with that Liza heard the door shut. She stood in the mirror and did her hair and makeup, then waited for Ron.
When he picked her up he said nothing. Liza frowned.
He drove her to a park in the middle of nowhere and Liza asked, "Um...where are we?"
"Just go stand by that bench." Ron said smiling.
He pulled the car away and she was alone.
"Boo!" Ed shouted
"Ahh! Oh my gosh Ed, you're the worst." Liza playfully punched him in the arm.
Liza had no clue what was going on, but she enjoyed it, so she didn't ask.
"You know." Ed began, "Where I come from, the man also buys an engagement ring?"
"No I didn't know that, hun." Liza replied.
She really didn't know what he was bringing this up for. It was very peculiar.
"Well, " Ed stopped walking and stuck his hand in the pocket of his cahkis. "You asked me when I started wearing this ring." He held up his hand. "About a year ago on my birthday, well, I bought this, because I was really ready."
"Ready for what? Why'd you buy it?"
"Well, I bought it...I bought it to go with...this one."
Ed bent down on one knee and pulled a small black box from his pants pocket. Liza gasped as he opened the box. She put her hands around her mouth and started to cry.
"Liza, you've been with me through this crazy rollercoaster I call my life and I can't picture living the rest of it with anyone else. Elizabeth Marie Myers...will you marry me?"
"Yes! Yes of course." Liza said wholeheartedly as he slipped the beautiful ring onto her finger.

When they got back home it was almost midnight.
"I love you so much" Ed said as he looked deep into Liza's big brown eyes.
"I love you more." Liza said as she gazed up into his blue piercing eyes.
"I love you most." He said as he kissed her lips softly.
