Eddy missed his girlfriend Anna so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.
Anna, heartbroken when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat to find he had flown to London, told The Times, “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic person I have ever known. We are both quite impulsive（冲动的）people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”
After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing there. Eddy had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Anna so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving money for a surprise. He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement ring, wine and flowers.
“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia.” he said. Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted.” she said.
