Brunch Continued

Our omelets came shortly after the juice. Holy Cow! I thought I was hungry, but I'm not sure I could handle what was set in front of me. The plate was oval shaped. The hash browns covered about 70% of the plate and the omelet covered the other 70% of the plate.
We both ate quietly over this massive amount of food. What I saw convinced me more that Carly was my kind of girl. She did not hesitate to dive right in; and she did it with gusto. I had to look under the table.
"What are you doin'?" Carly asked with some concern.
"I was looking to see if you had a hole in your leg." I said smiling.
"What do you mean by that?" There was no light bouncing in the those eyes. I think I just got myself in trouble.
"You are diving into that omelet with gusto."
"Sorry." I could see a tear well up in corner of her eye. Man, how do I fix this? I can't believe I have made her cry. I'm not even sure what I did. While these thoughts were going through my head Carly's excitement lessened and she pushed the plate away.
"What's wrong?" I asked hoping to fix the problem I had just created.
"Nothing." Carly lied.
"Ah, I may not be a smart man, but I know when something is wrong." I said in my best Forest Gump voice. That made the corners of her mouth turn up, but I could also tell that she didn't want to smile. "Carly, don't start clamming up on me. Eternity is a long time and we can't start off this way."
"I know Brian, I'm sorry, but your comment made me feel bad. I like to eat."
"Carly, most of the time girls don't show their appetite. I'm glad to see you digging in. I like the fact that you like to eat. It happens to be one of my best talents."
Carly began laughing. After that she started back into her omelet and hash browns.
"Um...Brian, I realize that you didn't intend on asking me to marry you last night, and I also know we touched on the idea that we want don't want to share our news, but when can we go get me a ring?" In the short time that I have known this women sitting before me I never thought I'd she her act a bit timid or embarrassed.
"Good question. Can I ask you a few questions, before answering?" She nodded. "Are you into big fancy kinds of things?
"I never thought about it much, so I can't answer that one." Carly said.
"Would you like to pick it out or do you trust me to do it?"
"I think I'd like to have some say in it. But it's not that I don't trust you."
"Fair enough." I say.
"How does this sound? I don't know about you, but I won't have to eat anything for the rest of the day. By the way this place is a great. How 'bout we go after we're done here, if you don't have plans for today?"
"Whatever I had planned was drastically changed last night. Today, I'm all yours."
"Just for today? Bummer." That brought the light bouncing in her eyes that I quickly fell in love with, again.
We finished our breakfast without much conversation. Carly paid the bill. I think I like that. We left and headed to her place.
