A time of my life

Emily's POV

"Are you about to kidnap me?" I said.

"Maybe I am." 

His voice was full of mirth. We both burst out laughing, the tension broken by our shared sense of humor. I could feel my heart lightening, and I was grateful for the moment of levity. We kept walking, and I heard the sound of seagulls overhead.

The cool breeze blew against my skin, and I suspected we were near the beach. The sound of the waves confirmed my suspicion - we were at the beach! I couldn't help but smile, feeling giddy and happy. 

"Is this our destination?" I asked, knowing the answer already. 

"It is," his voice full of excitement. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, I am."
