I beamed, feeling so much better. “Yes.”
He didn’t waver in replying…
“Good.”

He droveto our first destination, which was the zoo and aquarium. Guiding me through the animals, he held my hand the entire time of our private behind-the-scenes tour that he surprised me with. Ethan knew how much I loved animals. It didn’t matter what kind it was. If it was furry, I was obsessed with it.
“Aw! Look at the babies. I want to take one home,” I expressed, looking inside the lion cub cages.
“Want to hold one?”
I immediately looked back at him with a confused expression on my face.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” He chuckled, nodding behind me.
Out of nowhere, a man appeared, opening the gates for us to follow. We had to stay in the corner until he brought one of the cubs over to us.
“This is Meiko. He’s four months old,” the trainer informed us, setting him down on the ground.
I crouched down to pet him, and he wouldn’t stop licking my hand.
“Meiko loves the ladies,” he added, making me laugh.
“Hey, Meiko,” Ethan stated. “This one is mine.”
I rolled my eyes, enjoying his possessiveness, even with a lion.
Ethan snapped pictures of us with his phone before we moved into the huge circular aquarium.
“Wow,” I exclaimed, letting go of Ethan’s hand. I walked around in utter amazement at all the colors of the fish and sea life. “They’re so beautiful. Oh, I love this one!”
“That’s a Clarion angelfish.”
“I love this one, too!”
“That’s a koi.”
“What about that one?”
“A regal tang.”
I pointed at hundreds, and he knew each one.
“How did you know that?”
“I learned it in a book.”
“Is there anything you don’t know?”
He laughed me off, but it was a genuine question. Ethan was a wealth of knowledge, and I couldn’t believe how much it turned me on. After we finished our tour, he took me to get ice cream. I had such a sweet tooth. It was a running joke that I could probably live off sweets if needed.
That was one of the things I loved the most about Ethan. He always paid attention to all the little things. He could turn any situation into a loving one that usually left me in awe of him.
“Where are we going now?” I asked as he took the exit for the highway.
