We were sitting in a pizzeria, drinking wine, talking lazily about various things, when a young couple came in. A boy and a girl were walking hand in hand. The girl had a flower garland in her hair and she carried a bunch of wild flowers. They probably had spent the day on a long walk through the fields and meadows and came here for dinner. They sat at one of the tables, ordered pizzas and started talking. I looked at them from time to time, because they looked so nice and seemed very much in love. At one moment I saw that the boy was holding the girl's hand, looking in her eyes and telling her something with a very serious face. The girl listened carefully, blushing a little. When he stopped talking, she said something - it was just one word. Then he took out of his pocket a small box, opened it, took out a ring and put it on her finger... and suddenly I heard clapping. I looked around. Everybody in the pizzeria was looking at the couple. People were smiling and clapping, apparently moved by this scene. The couple seemed a bit embarrassed, but at the same time proud and happy. I looked at John and saw that he was smiling at me.
