She hated surprises. Loathed them. Did whatever she could to figure them out. But one day Adam caught her off guard with one surprise she hadn’t seen coming…and one that she loved…
In the weeks leading up to the holidays, Laura would stare at her present and try to guess what was inside. She kept joking to Adam that one day she was just going to go ahead and open it because she hated the anticipation of waiting. And every time Adam smiled and said ‘okay’ knowing that she wouldn’t really do it. But she kept insisting, kept poking and kept trying to guess. Until one day she just did it. Inside the beautifully wrapped box was a digital camera and she was so happy. Both for the beautiful gift and for the fact that it was no longer a surprise.
After their big family dinner Adam said he needed to go for a walk to work off some of the turkey. As they strolled through Victoria Park, he apologized that there wasn’t another gift for her to open and that he was sorry there were no more surprises. But Laura just laughed and said she was glad because after all, she hated surprises. And then he did something she hadn’t expected at all. Getting down on one knee Adam said : “actually I do have one more surprise” as he pulled the ring from his pocket. Suddenly there were screams. Screams so loud that people in the park came running over to make sure she was okay. When they discovered that the screams were Laura jumping up and down with excitement they started clapping and sharing in on the excitement. Before that day Laura had always hated surprises, but in that moment she knew that this had been the best surprise of all :)
