Ian had a key to amy's flat in Britain. When he arrived and she wasn't there,he let himself in and lay down on the sofa to sleep after his long travel. He thought Amy was out for the evening. Then the phone rang. Idols Amy, calling from Australia.
In an interview with a newspaper reporter, Amy described her arriving at Ian's flat in Australia: "I knocked on his door and one of his flatmates, Stephen, answered. He went white. He told me Ian had gone back to Britain to see me. I didn't believe him. But the truth hit me when I found Ian's bag and clothes missing. I sat on his bed and couldn't help crying. When I phoned Ian, he would not believe that I was calling from his flat. "Both Ian and Amy had a nonrefundable air tickets, so Amy had to spend two weeks in Australia while Ian had to spend two weeks in Britain.
Amy and young had both changed planes in Singapore. Later they realized that they had been at the Singapore airport at the same time, sitting in the same waiting area, without seeing each other.
Ian had flown to Britain with an engagement ring in his pocket. When Amy called from Australia, he asked her to marry him over the phone. She accepted.
