 No,    a    proposal    has    to    be    something    more    than    the    desperate    desire    to    end    a    bickering    match.    it    has    to    be    planned,    it    should    be    magical.    there    should    be    music  playing    &    romantic  lighting    &    a  subtle  buildup  to  the  popping  of  the  big  question.

   THERE    SHOULD    BE     A    THOUSAND    YELLOW    DAISIES . 

 Michel    &    kirk  had  been  arguing  outside  of  the  independence  inn  for  god  knows  how  long  before  lorelai  had  arrived .    she  was  as  confused  as  michel  was  at  the  fact  that  flowers  had  been  ordered ,    agreeing  with  him  that  there  must  have  been  a  mistake  because  no  one  at  the  inn  ordered  them !    though ,    kirk  had  insisted  that  the  order  requested  lorelai  gilmore  to  be  there  to  accept  them    &    it  hit  her—    her  mind  flashed  back  to  her  outburst  about  romantic ,    planned  proposals  that  had  romantic  music ,    magic    &    a  subtle  build  up ,    but  most  of  all …

 “    A  thousand  of  them.    a  thousand  yellow  daisies ,        she  breathed  in  disbelief ,    finally  taking  a  few  steps  into  her  freshly  decorated  lobby .    it  felt  as  though  her  heart  had  stopped  in  her  chest ,    immediately  stopped  beating  the  second  that  lorelai  had  come  to  the  conclusion  that  he  had  done  this .    he  had  listened ,    he  had  planned ,    he  had  romanced    &    surprised  her  with  that  one ,    very  important  question ,    again .    lorelai  had  dreamt  of  scenarios  like  this ;    impossible  fairytales  that  you  saw  on  the  big  screen  or  read  in  a  romance  novel  written  by  some  guy  who  has  unrealistic  expectations .    this  was  an  unrealistic  expectation ,    but  it  was  right  there  in  front  of  lorelai’s  eyes .    a  thousand  yellow  daisies .

 Lorelai  sat ,    her  lips  spreading  into  a  smile  that—    was  pure  disbelief ,    utmost  bewilderment .    what  did  she  ever  do  to  be  worthy  of  a  thousand  yellow  daisies    &    a  man  that  would  tie  this  all  together ?    pink  stained  lips  pursed  together  as  her  nostrils  flared ,    her  eyes  beginning  to  well  with  tears .    her  bag  was  pulled  upwards  onto  her  lap    &    her  shaky  hands  reached  for  her  cellphone ,    immediately  dialing  his  phone  number  with  anticipation .    lorelai’s  heart  leapt  when  he  answered ,    almost  to  the  point  where  she  wanted  to  clutch  it  to  keep  it  where  it  was  supposed  to  be ,    &    while  she  listened  to  him  speak  with  words  so  kind ,    so  tender    &    loving ,    lorelai’s  eyes  were  going  over  every  single  yellow  daisy  that  had  brightened  her  inn .

 “    Oh my …    ”    lorelai  breathed  as  she  placed  her  phone  into  her  lap .     i’ve  thought  about  this ,     now i  want  you  to  do  the  same ,    she  had  been  told .    while  lorelai  wanted  this ,    she  wanted  to  have  this  happily  ever  after  with  the  put-together ,    romantic ,    sweet ,    thoughtful  man  that  had  ordered  exactly  a  thousand  yellow  daisies  for  her ;    lorelai  knew  that  it  wasn’t  right .    that  while  she  would  have  given  anything  in  that  moment  to  be  able  to  say  yes  with  full  confidence ,    lorelai  couldn’t .    her  heart  wasn’t  in  it .    not  because  she  didn’t  love  him ,    not  because  she  was  afraid  of  this ,    but  because  she  was  waiting …    lorelai  was  waiting  for  another ,    even  if  it  were  hopeless ,    like  the  inevitable  wilting  of  those  thousand  yellow  daisies .
