The answer
It was an ultimatum. Delivered there in the coffee shop. Yes or no? Stay or go?
Things had gone on too long. She had invested far too many years on this man. Her clock was ticking and shrinking the time she had to meet another. But men being men, he was set in his ways. He liked his freedom more than he seemed to love her. He’d kept ‘one foot in the stirrup’ by keeping on his own apartment.
But now she had to know. Was he serious? Or was he not?
“I’ll give you a ring.” was his answer.

Ooh, yes. Is that "I'll give you a ring." Or, "I'll give you a ring?" I did what Drew did, After two readings. Very ambiguous, and good as a result 😊

Thanks Jeff. I thought it would be interesting to leave her hanging! She was dealing with a bloke, and blokeishness after all!
