Chapter 169: Dancing Queen

Michael and I walked hand in hand back to the rental, sand sticking to our feet--not that we noticed. The sun was setting in an array of beautiful hues over the horizon. Shades of pink, orange, and gold reached out across the sky, making it look magical in so many ways.

With the sky such a gorgeous painting of natural colors, I couldn't help but stop and take it all in. Stopping, and pulling Michael along with me, I took a deep breath and let it all soak in.

"Wow, would you look at that?" I said, pointing up to the sky, a smile on my face as I closed my eyes for a moment.

"It's beautiful," Michael replied, giving my hand a squeeze. “But not as beautiful as you.”

I turned and looked at him, shaking my head slightly. He was so sweet and never missed a beat.
