Sure, “childhood sweethearts” wasn’t exactly how I’d describe me and Josh’s relationship back in the day But I wasn’t about to argue

“Thing is,” said Josh “We got so wrapped up in everything that I ended up proposing before buying her a dang ring”

Mr Gambel wasn’t fazed “That’s a coht?”

“That’s exactly right,” I said

He clasped his hands together again “Well, I assu?”

“We certainly are” Josh’s voice carried such sincerity itin Hollywood instead of New York

“I can certainly help you with that” Mr Gambel walked toward the counter

“And, of course, money is no object”

Mr Gahed “Music to my ears”

Josh appeared confused “Yeah, of course Excuse us”

Mr Gambel nodded, and the two of us headed off to one of the corners of the store

“What’s up? Don’t see anything you like?”
