I pulled a small piece of paper from behind my back before tossing it to the feet of my brother.

Unless you're buying rings for other women, or you have taken up cross dressing since I left, it wasn't hard to draw a conclusion. No one told me, just an educated guess.

I pushed my body from the bed before walking to the door. Before leaving the room completely, I turned to look at Jason and leaned on the wall.

How long have the two of you been together? Last I checked, you didn't want to marry anyone after Lindsey.

Don't bring her up.

Well, if you ever decide to want Dustin back, you are going to have to tell her everything. I just can't believe you actually asked her to Marry you, and you told me nothing.

It didn't really bother you, did it?

In a since, no, but Alex happens to be my friend, you are my brother.

I have a feeling you are going to say something like "And if you hurt her...."

No, I'm not. I'm going to tell you I think you aren't ready and I would have told you the same thing if I was told of your future plans. You started to date Micah and I did what I could to tolerate her, although, when you slept around with her I didn't mind as much. Now you happen to be with Alex, all I have to say Jay is that if you are just doing this to prove something, or even to get over something, or doing it for whatever reason than what you should be doing it for, you should take the ring back.
