Explanation:
She knew everything but the question.
She was well aware that there would be a complete annular
eclipse of the
Sun
visible from their driving destination:
Lake Abert in
Oregon.
She knew that the next
ring-of-fire eclipse would occur in the
USA only in
16 more years, making this a rare photographic opportunity.
She was comfortable with the plan:
that she and her boyfriend would appear in front of the eclipse
in silhouette,
sometimes alone, and sometimes together.
She knew that the
annular phase of this
eclipse would last only a few minutes and
she helped in the many
hours of planning.
She could see their friend who set up the camera
about 400 meters away at the bottom of a ridge.
What she didn't know was the question she would be asked.
But she did know the answer: "yes".
