April 10th, 1948, Bella's Restaurant, Pawtucket, Rhode Island
"Jane, have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Joe Colton asked.
And beautiful she was, wearing a new red dress and with her blonde hair in an elaborate do that would not have been out of place at a Hollywood premier. He'd told her to dress up tonight, and she hadn't disappointed.
"Only about fifty times a day. But I guess I'd have to be, to land such a handsome man." Jane giggled.
"Oh!" She cried as her laughter dislodged a piece of ravioli from her fork, sending it flying onto the table cloth between them.
Joe laughed as well. With some girls that sort of mishap would have turned into embarrassment that would have soured the whole evening. Jane, however, managed to take everything in stride. It was one of the many things he'd come to love about her.
"Listen, Jane, I've got some news, and I wanted to discuss it with you before I made any decision."
Jane's expression turned serious.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I got a call from the Army yesterday. They want me back, and they're offering to send me to officer school." Joe said, bracing for what he was sure to be a heated response from Jane.
"Oh, Joe! That's wonderful! You hate managing your dad's hardware store. I know you miss the army." Jane beamed.
Now comes the hard part, Colton thought to himself.
"There's a catch though, Jane. The slot they're offering is with a special unit. If I take it, I'll be leaving for Europe next week."
Now Jane was upset.
"Next week?! How long will you be gone?"
"It's only for a few months, Jane. Then I'll be back to the states for officer training..."
"A few months! Joe, you'll miss the prom! You'll miss graduation!" Jane now looked to be on the verge of tears.
"Sweetie, I know." Joe said. "But there's one more thing."
He slipped his hand off the table and into his jacket pocket.
"What, Joe? Are you calling it off?" She asked, valiantly still holding back tears.
"No. No!" Joe exclaimed.
"In fact I was thinking that as soon as I get back, maybe you and I should get married." He said, pulling the small box he'd gotten from Cerel's Jewelry earlier from his pocket.
"Now, I've already talked to your dad, and...."
"Oh, Joe! Yes!" Jane cried, practically flinging herself across the table and scattering the cutlery to embrace him. The tears were flowing now, but for an entirely different reason.
As she wiped them away, smearing a good deal of her make up in the process, and impish grin came over her face, reminding Joe of the nuisance kid he'd known when they were young.
"In fact I thought you were never gonna ask!"
Joe laughed.
