The Engagement
I open my eyes; the sun is peeking through the closed blinds. I am eager to get out of bed and start my day, longing for a gorgeous sunny and warm day with Ethan. Thump thump thump, I trudge down the stairs, leaving Remi, our dog, and Ethan, my boyfriend still in bed.

The sun kisses my skin out on the water keeping me warm like a toasted marshmallow. Our leisurely paddling leads us just far enough out that we can hear the fish swishing below. The warm water feels like an ice-cold drink as it drips on my warm
