We had planned a bike ride on the Willow City Loop. We had done this bike ride once before and there were plenty of scary hills that I had trouble going down, so I was definitely hesistant when he asked me again, but went for it. Well 2.5 miles into the ride, I told him I didn’t want to go down the “big” hill this time. This is when all the miscommunication started. We came to a hill and he said “I’ll meet you at the bottom.” I heard (or maybe it was what I wanted to hear) “I’ll see you at the top.” (I thought this was the scary hill). So, time goes by and I’m going back and forth on my own at the top of hill. THEN, I decide, “you know what, I’ll just make my way back to the car.” So, I start heading back. I haven’t realized at this point that he has been calling my phone. As I’m biking back, a sweet couple in a truck stops me and tells me my boyfriend has been waiting for me. They ask to take me back (apparently he had told them to make sure I got back down there) to which I hesitantly say no. I then check my phone and see a bunch of missed calls. I call Calvin back and he says he’s been waiting for me. I head back and finally get to the bottom of the hill (VERY SLOWLY) and he’s there, on one knee, waiting for me. No hesitancy here, I immediately said YES! We got a good laugh out of the whole thing and it made for a great story to tell our friends and families.
