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!

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.
