To which Miss Faiers replies, “I’m happy “, a notion which Joey seconds by telling he was happy to.  The love struck lad, who was the one to call off the relationship last time, then went on to say:  ”look at you and you’re the sort of girl I want to marry, have my babies, I know I’m only 21 but I look at you and feel like I want to marry you”
