With the school year almost over, Li had another problem, she was going to have to move back to Taiwan. One night we were at my place drinking Chardonnay and she was telling Francesca and I how much she would miss America when Francesca blurted out,
"You should just get Mitchie to marry you. You get to stay and Mitchie, for him it's a fantasy come true!"
Li didn't respond, almost as she was tuning out nonsense while she thought through her predicament. I'm not sure what came over me, but I jumped at the chance.
"Li...I know it's...if you would marry me...I would..."
Francesca started to laugh but eventually I made it clear that I would be grateful to marry Li if she would have me. Li asked for time to think about it, and two days later she accepted.
We had to move fast so we agreed to
