Ping was trudging home from work in the pouring rain. She hated rain.
As she flew through the door her boyfriend Pong couldn’t contain his amusement as she slung her sodden coat to the floor and headed for her ‘medicine cupboard’ for a glass of vino.
He went to cuddle her but she pushed him away. “You need a hug from your best friend”, he said.
“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, she huffed, “which reminds me, how much longer…”
Pong dropped to one knee, in his hand a little black box.
“Ping, will you do me the honour…….”

Ping Ping to see the squares!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting Friday Fictioneers
Such a sweet twist at the end 💍 — I really felt Ping’s mood shift from stormy to shining.
Much love,
David
Hopefully it will stay that way! Thanks so much, David.
💯
<3
Thanks, Beth!
Pong likes to choose his moment, I guess.
It kept getting rained off, but not this time!
Dear Keith,
Timing is everything, isn’t it? I hope Pong hasn’t waited too long. Cute story with a certain ring to it. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
It is indeed – nice pun! Thanks, Rochelle.
Awwwww
That’s what I thought!
What a sweet story! Just shows you there can be diamonds in the rain as well as a silver lining to the clouds.
Thanks so much – I like that thought!
Romantic story on a rainy night!
And Ping-Pong lived happily ever after 🙂
Indeed, Anita – at least, I hope so!
between a Ping and a Pong…i hope he asked the correct question 😬lol…
I’d like to think so! Thanks, Destiny.
Ping just learned when to shut her mouth! hehehehe
She timed it just right!
Oh that could have gone a lot differently. I wish them the best.
Hopefully she did him the honour! Thanks, Lisa
<3 Me too. You are welcome.
He certainly got the timing right. Nice story!
The moment Pong longed for! Thanks, Mimi.
I don’t know Ping seems a little snappy to make a lifetime commitment to! Good luck to that game!
You make a good point!
🙌Hurrah – you did the female voice, Ping will be ever so pleased….but even more so, as she now has a sparkler on her finger 🍾
Well, I tried anyway – it pays to keep Ping happy!
😅
loved the ending. finally he got the hint. 🙂
So it seems! Thanks, plaridel.

Such a sunny ending to a rainy day.
I am not sure this was the right moment, but the mood did change. I can only imagine their married life will be like table tennis back and forth until someone snaps.
Sweet story Keith
Hi Keith – my nickname is Ping … no Pong around, or diamonds sadly!! Well done on the storyline though … cheers Hilary
Aww, so sweet!!
Oh my! This is all so sudden! Hmm …. can I see the ring first, Pong? 💍
How sweet, and I really wasn’t expecting such an ending!
