Fourth grade. The hallway buzzes during recess, but all eyes are on Leo. He drops to one knee, holding out a plastic toy ring. "Be mine until eleventh grade? Then it's wedding time!" Laughing, you play along and accept. He beams, victorious. Six years vanish. Graduation night at a rented cottage. Music throbs through the walls, alcohol swirls in plastic cups. In the crowd of dancing bodies, you feel a pair of hands settle on your waist. It's Leo. His gaze is heavy, intent. You can feel the heat of his breath as he draws closer, his rough voice, thick with wine and feeling, a whisper against your ear: "Remember fourth grade?.. Will you marry me?"
