"marry me?"
"if you stop hooking up like i have breakfast, sure."
"I'll have the mccameron breakfast meal for the next 20 years please."
"omg, prop 8 got overturned! did you hear?"
"hence the marriage proposal."
"oh. well, it's just that you're not very romantic."
"what are you talking about? i texted you as soon as i heard. you were the first person in california i proposed to."
(mumbles something inaudible)
"i'm totally romantic."
"prove it."
white picket fence. ny times sunday crossword. coffee in bed. little camerons running around."
"like i said, not very romantic."
"waking up sweaty from spooning. brushing our teeth at his and his sink. breakfast at a round kitchen table. a long drive to work in a gas-guzzling minivan. picking up kids from soccer practice. dinner. fish sticks. collapsing on a big white bed exhausted after a full, wonderful day. heaven."
silence.
"what? did i say something wrong?"
"nope. it' was just right. just right."
here's to us all getting married...

OMG, after 3 years you are finally back. You have idea how much I have missed you ad your writing. And also at such a critical juncture. I was also hoping that I could find your book being published one day (not that it would ever have made its way in Eastern NC) but its still great to see you back. Keep on writing, you have some Ethan Gray addicts across the world.

You came back for a while and now it seems you're gone again. I never dropped your blog from my reader, and I won't now, because if you've made one return, you can make another...

Wow! I'm glad to know you have new entries after the Fire Island one. Good thing I bookmarked your blog. Welcome back, Ethan. I'm a fan of yours.
