Good

Good short story. Enjoyed the ending make up scene better than the rest which was basically told more than shown. Ending had more conversation and interesting action that made the story more fun.

I was looking for a short story to read and came upon this one. I had not read any others in the series but will go back and look to read them in the future. This was a cute quick read, and poor Wings was pretty inept at the whole proposal thing.
