"Okay, ready."
"Is it an animal?"
"Yes."
"Is it an alligator?"
"That's not fair."
"What? That I know you?"
"It's supposed to be 20 questions, not two."
"Well, pick something less obvious."
"How is it obvious?"
"A) it's your favorite animal and B) we just passed a sign for an alligator adventure or whatever."
"I suppose we really are in Florida now."
"Other states have alligators, to be fair. Wasn't it you who told me they sneak into NASA?"
"They do! It's a problem."
"Okay, well it's my turn now. Let me show you how it's done."
"Okay, fine. Ready?"
"Ready."
"Is it an animal?"
"Boring, no."
"Rude."
"Sorry."
"Is it a plant?"
"No."
"Is it something I'd find in our house?"
"Yes."
"Is it something I'd find in our kitchen?"
"No."
"Is it something I'd find in our bathroom?"
"Sometimes."
"Is it something I'd find in our bedroom?"
"Sometimes."
"Is it something I'd find in our basement?"
"Often."
"Is it clothes?"
"Be more specific."
"Is it dirty clothes?"
"Even more specific."
"Is it dirty underwear?"
"The diritiest."
"You are so predictable."
"Hey it took you 10 questions to get there."
"Doesn't mean you're not predictable."
"Well, we're going on a road trip for our five year anniversary to where we used to live."
"So?"
"So dirty underwear might be on my mind."
"You're the worst."
"You love me."
"This is also true."
"Okay, your turn."
"Okay, ready."
"Is it something I've seen on TV?"
"Yes."
"Is it something tangible?"
"No."
"Is it something I'm familiar with?"
"Yes."
"Is it something a holiday is centered around?"
"Yes."
"Is it love?"
"I'm bad at this game."
"What?"
"That was five questions!"
"Maybe I'm just a mind reader."
"We're not having this conversation again."
"I think I've proven I'm psychic."
"No, you've proven you are lucky."
"And?"
"And that you know me very well."
"We can play a different game if you want."
"No, no. I'll get better at it. Besides, it's easy to play while I drive."
"Okay, well let me think of something you'll definitely get."
"Hey!"
"What?"
"I got the last one in only 10 questions."
"Only."
"Hey."
"Sorry, you know I'm just teasing, love."
"Fine, fine."
"You know I love you."
"Yes, dear."
"And you love me."
"Yes, of course I do. Who else would I drive back to Florida with?"
"It's where we met!"
"Yes, I know. That's why we're going here."
"Okay, okay."
"You got one yet?"
"Yes, I've got one."
"Is it something in this car?"
"Yes."
"Is it something I packed?"
"No."
"Are you sure? I packed practically everything."
"Not true, and yes, I'm sure."
"Okay, is it something for you?"
"No."
"Okay so it's something for me that you packed...Have I seen it before?"
"No."
"So it's a surprise?"
"You'll have to tell me that."
"What do you mean?"
"Pull over."
"Why?"
"Cause...it's a surprise?"
"Okay, fine."
"Thank you."
"Aaand we're in park. So what is it?"
"That's not how 20 questions works."
"Fine then, I give up. What's the surprise?"
"This."
"Is that...is that an engagement ring?"
"Yes. I was going to wait until we were at that waterfall where we took our first picture together, but I just couldn't wait."
"..."'
"So...will you marry me?"
"Yes!"
