Chapter 11 - The Four Boys Asked Me to Marry Their Mother—Not Because They Needed a Father, but Because They Wanted Us to Stop Losing TimeThe boys planned it.
Terribly.
They wrote a speech.
Milo practiced.
Mason forgot the words.
Max laughed.
Micah held the flowers upside down.
Mara stood in the living room.
I looked at them.
Milo said:
“Dad.”
“Yes?”
“We want you to marry Mom.”
I laughed.
“Why?”
“Because you're already married in our heads.”
Mara started crying.
I looked at her.
Then knelt.
“I should have asked you six years ago.”
She smiled.
“You didn't get the chance.”
“Then I'll ask now.”
She cried harder.
“Yes.”
The boys screamed.
The house filled with laughter.
