Next step
Something was missing though from their lives and Ricky felt it. He wanted to settle down completely with Jolene and start a family. Now they had a house together but it wasn’t enough for him. It was time to take that next step and ask Jolene, his high school sweetheart if she wanted to marry him.
He went to the store and bought a ring, without her knowing, and made a plan about how he would ask her. They were already living together so he knew that this would not come as a huge surprise to Jolene. They loved each other and their feelings haven’t changed since high school.
