The next thing he noticed was the name cards at every seat—a nod to our favorite pastime and the proposal.

"Scrabble?" he exclaimed as his eyes lit up. "Babe, this is so fucking sweet." I smiled and hugged his side.
"I mean I had to have some sort of reference to it. Did you not see the dessert table?" I asked. Shawn quickly turned and looked toward the dessert table across the way.
