even if he did dump her in the end. 

That night came and Rose got to the cinema first, but where was he?
Being stood up on her first date wasn't her idea of fun, then she saw 
him, hurrying around the corner. 

‘Oh, Rose, I'm so sorry, an emergency came in. I couldn't get away. We
were short-staffed as it was.' 

It's OK, you are only fifteen minutes late. I was going to give you
another couple of minutes then go.' 

They came out of the cinema. Rose had had a great time. They had sat in
the back row, where he had put his arm around her shoulder. And was she 
complaining? 

The weeks went on and Rose was still seeing the male nurse. She had
forgotten all about Jason, until one evening while reading the evening 
paper. She happened to look at the announcement's page. That was when 
she saw it - the date that Jason and his girlfriend were getting 
married. She told the nurse later in the week. 

‘Hey, I've got an idea,' he said to her. 

When the day of Jason's wedding arrived, they both stood outside the
church. 

‘Why are we waiting outside here,' asked Rose. ‘And why have we had to
get dressed up? It's not as though as they are going to let us in.' 

‘Just shut up and listen to me,' he said to her, before whispering in
her ear, then slipping a ring on her finger. 

When the wedding couple came out, Rose and her boyfriend managed to get
them on their own. 

‘Hi, Jason,' Rose said to him. ‘Nice to see have got married, but you
are scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't' she added, before giving 
the bride the once over. 

‘What do you mean, “scraping the bottom of the barrel”? 

‘'Not your usual type,' she answered before turning towards the bride
and saying, ‘Don't worry, love, when he finds out you've got no money, 
he'll soon get rid of you.' 

Just before Rose and her boyfriend started to walk away, Rose flashed
the ring she had on her finger at the wedding couple. 

‘At least I have found somebody that loves me. Have a nice life, Jason.
And you, love,' she said, once again, turning her head towards the 
bride. 

They both walked away giggling. She was giggling even more when she and
the nurse married each other a month later.
