"Hello?" Pt. 2

July 18th 2016

"So, you admit it. You did tell her!"

"I didn't tell her a thing."

"Daniel-"

"Fine, I admit it! I accidentally blurted it out over lunch on Saturday and I've been riddled with guilt ever since!"

"..."

"Don't tell Elias."

"First of all, you would make a terrible witness seeing as you easily break under pressure."

"I object to that."

"You would. Secondly, are you always this bad at keeping secrets and promises?"

"Technically, Elias never said it was a secret and he never made me promise not to tell anyone."

"When someone tells you that they're going to propose, generally they want to keep it a secret and they don't want you to tell the person that they're being proposed to."

"She forced it out of me."

"See, you're easy to break."

"Whatever."

"I take it Elias doesn't know that you blabbed to Jenna."

"I'm still alive, aren't I?"

"For now. You've got about six, seven weeks before the whole thing goes down. Oh, the guilt will consume you."

"Way to make me feel better, Soph."

"I wasn't trying to make you feel better."

"Mission accomplished."

"..."

"..."

"How is he going to do it?"

"Do what?"

"The proposal! Do keep up, Daniel."

"He's proposing on his birthday. That's literally all I know."

"Boo, you suck when it comes to gossiping."

"Men don't gossip. We strategically spread the word."

"Well, you suck at strategically spreading the word."

"I know."

"I'll call Elias. He'll tell me."

"No, you can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because then he'll know that I told you!"

"I'm your fiancée, Daniel. You tell me practically everything. Plus, didn't you say that the proposal wasn't a secret and that he never made you promise not to tell anyone?"

"Damn you women knowing how to use logic against men."

"You have lots to learn, Daniel-san."

"..."

"Haha! I didn't even need to change your name for that to work!"

"Freak."

"Especially between the sheets."

"And don't I know it."

"Meanie."

"Go bug someone else."

"Right, Elias!"

"God, anyone except him."

"No can do, babe. I need to give him some proposal advice."

"You proposed to me the day after I found out my dad had died."

"And you proposed to me on the day you bailed me out of an American police cell."

"This means that you and I are the last people that should ever be giving anyone tips on how to ask for someone's hand in marriage."

"Pft, I could come up with an amazing proposal, thank you very much!"

"Doubtful."

"That sounds like a challenge."

"..."

"Never challenge a Delaney, Whitaker. Because you will lose!"

"Is that so?"

"Just you wait. I'm going to help Elias pull off the greatest proposal in the whole history of proposals."

"By all means, go ahead. I cannot wait to see it bomb."

"Want to bet on this?"

"What's at stake?"

"The left side of the bed."

"But that's my side of the bed."

"No, it's mine. I only give it to you because I love you. Now, I want it back."

"That's not fair."

"Scared, huh, Whitaker?"

"No. Fine, the left side of the bed is the prize. One snag, however. How, exactly, will we know if it's the greatest proposal ever?"

"Tears."

"Tears?"

"If Jenna cries, I win."

"Huh. Tears. Ok, I'm cool with those terms."

"Great. Now, excuse me. I need to start planning Elias' proposal. You're going down, Daniel."

"That's fine by me. I quite like going down."

"That's disgusting."

"You made it too easy for me."

"Grow up."

"Never!"

"Freak."
