Not so farfetched
Charlie and his long-term girlfriend of six years Norberta are discussing a very serious matter.
Charlie glanced over at their adopted children Bard and Anja who were frolicking in the meadow and said, "It's about time we did something crazy, Berta. It's been far too long."
Norberta smirked. "If you're referring to your impromptu decision to adopt the twins, I can live with a little crazy."
Charlie asked, "Do you remember when I mentioned marriage?"
Norberta snorted. "Jokingly, you don't actually mean---"
Charlie interrupted her, "Would you like to marry me?"
Norberta gasped. "I would, but what about the---"
Charlie reassured her, "The law has changed."
Norberta queried, "When did that happen?"
Charlie smiled. "This morning."
Norberta beamed, "You did this, didn't you?"
Charlie nodded and whispered, "Anything for my girl."
Norberta grinned. "I love you too, Char Char."
