I had the HVAC company come to my house to do the annual inspection on my furnace.
I knew it was early to have a furnace inspection done, but last year they had said I may need a new furnace this year.
So I didn’t need to go without heating, I made sure to call and have the inspection done early, just in case last year’s HVAC technician was right. When the HVAC technician arrived, he asked if we minded him bringing his girlfriend along. They were supposed to be going to lunch together when he got the call to come here. One of his fellow HVAC techs had called in sick, and he was asked to do this inspection. I didn’t have a problem with his bringing his girlfriend, as long as he did the job properly. Twenty minutes later, I heard some odd sounds coming from the basement and the girl was laughing. I popped my head into the doorway just in time to hear her shouting yes, and my mind went into places where it shouldn’t have. I motioned for my husband, who headed downstairs to see what was going on. He came upstairs and said that by coming to our house; he wasn’t able to ask her to marry him while at lunch. He figured it was just as well to propose here her as it was to wait until they got home. Since the HVAC tech didn’t need to go on any other service calls, I offered to cook them a romantic dinner so they could have a quiet meal before going home and celebrating.
