There is a wonderful ancient Western tradition that allows a woman to propose to a man; but only on 29 February, only once every four years, in a Leap Year. On such a momentous day, late one morning in modern Singapore, Li-ann, young, bright, beautiful, catches sight of Jeremy for the first time in a busy part of town. She realizes, with a start, that he is her dream man, and makes the move allowed by the Leap Year tradition.
