Is that a ring I just saw?” “He’s proposing soon,” Dad cuts in. “Make sure she’s the right one, kid,” the other guy, Jordan, says. “Saves a lot of heartbreak.” I hold up the ring box. “I’m sure.” “Bex is wonderful,” Dad says, looking right at me as he speaks. “We’re all so thrilled for her to be part of the family.”
