Blind Date Turned Proposal

Alice observed Josie’s body language and saw that Josie was unwilling to talk, so she quickly stopped the rest from asking. “Why are you so inquisitive? I’m sure she didn’t break the law.”

“That’s great.” Alice clinked glasses with Josie. She was happy for Josie. “What about your husband…… Are you two alright?”

Josie sipped her wine, and her face was crimson red. She played dumb. “It’s the usual.”
