They walked over to the beach, Bryan hauled the bikes down a bunch of steps, and just as Carol wanted to plop her bum down, he pulls her and starts trudging through the sand to a different spot. She was too tired to argue so she clunked her feet along. They got to the edge, near some shade, and plopped down. Playing in the sand, she starts a game of tic tac toe. And promptly fell into a deadlock. No fun.
 
So they started a game of hangman, of which Carol was sure that being the liberal arts major, she would win. First game was successful....her pick of word was "IMAX", which he didn’t even come close to guessing. (Not that he really cared…) And then it was his turn for revenge...
 
Carol:  Object?

Bryan :  Yup..well...sort of

Carol:  two words?

Bryan : Yes

Carol:  A?

** Bryan draws a head in the sand**.

Carol:  E?

** Bryan fills in the middle second word with “E”**
 
After going through the rest of the vowels, she only had filled __ __ __ __Y  __E__. And she only had one leg left un-hung.
 
Bryan :  give up?

Carol: aiya. nods.
 
** Bryan writes in the sand ...M A R R Y  M E?**
 
Carol:  HAH?? *think Taiwanese nasal accent**
 
** Bryan sticks ring in sand**

Carol:  Really???
 
Bryan :  You don't want it?
 
Carol:  HUh?
 
Bryan :  **something about spending the rest their lives together**....Will you marry me?
 
Carol: **nods**..Ha...yeah!!! I mean..yes!
 
**XO**
 
Wait, but I said “A”!!
 
Bryan : Really? No you didn't
 
Carol:  Yes I did! I always go through all the vowels!!
 
....and so it begins.
