Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

Realizing that her daughter was quite the social butterfly, she never expected her to be so sociable. "Speaking like that is too presumptuous, and it could upset other people," Josie said.

Grape thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry. He seemed a bit upset. He didn't smile at all!"

"So, you shouldn't say things like that again."

Lachlan glanced at the rearview mirror. "Grape, I love to smile. Do you think I'm handsome?"

"Of course! But you're not as handsome as that man!" Grape answered.

Grape nodded. "There were many flowers inside, butterflies, and fish."
