"Mona, you must be joking! I know today is April Fool's Day, so this has to be a joke, right?"

Still on one knee, I smiled awkwardly at the woman I had loved for 2,190 days, hoping desperately to hear from her lips that it was all just a prank and she was just kidding.

As usual, she always loved to play pranks, didn't she?
