I had one errand to run.

I needed to play a song that night as part of the whole

asking her to marry me. And this was before the days of Spotify or Apple Music. We had these things

called CDs that you had to buy from a store.

So I planned to go to the mall, to a music store,

to get a CD with this song on it,

but I was so concerned that this was the day

some dude was gonna rob me in the mall

and take this ring I had with me. So I found the heaviest,

thickest coat I had. It wasn't that cold outside, but I put the coat on. It had a pocket

right here. I unzipped the pocket. I put the ring in the pocket, zip the pocket back up, I put the coat on,
