I marvel at how effortlessly Percival seems to navigate social situations. It’s a skill I’ve always struggled with, given my hearing loss. But today, there’s a newfound confidence within me, sparked by our time spent surfing and the undeniable connection that’s forming between us.
“Ready to see what all the fuss is about?” Percival asks, raising an eyebrow.
I give him my response with another nod, my curiosity piqued and my heart beating a little faster.
The ocean breeze gently brushes my face as Percival and I continue our breakfast, savoring every bite of our breakfast. He chats nonstop about everything from his favorite surf spots to the latest art exhibitions in town. Despite our differences, it’s easy to see that we share a mutual love for the beauty life has to offer.
“Did you ever imagine you’d be out here, surfing with someone like me?” Percival asks playfully, his eyes locked on mine.
“Never in a million years,” I write, laughing. Dang, I hate the fact our conversations have to be so complicated, penning every word cuts the emotion and spontaneity. “But I’m glad I am. You’ve shown me a side of life I never knew existed.”
Percival grins, and I notice the way his smile lights up his entire face, making him even more attractive than before. It feels as though an invisible thread connects us, drawing us closer with every word we exchange.
“Spencer, have I ever told you how much I admire your determination?” he says, sincerity lacing his voice. “You don’t let anything hold you back, and that’s truly inspiring.”
I reply with another nod, touched by his words.
He leans in closer, his mischievousness shining through as a gleam of excitement dances in his gorgeous dark eyes. “You know, I’ve always believed that life is meant to be lived to the fullest. And I’m glad to share some time with you.”
A warmth wave spread through my chest. It’s in these moments that I truly appreciate the connection building between us—something I never thought possible with someone like Percival.
“Speaking of time,” he continues, lowering his voice conspiratorially, “I might have something special planned for us soon.”
“Oh?” I tease, intrigued by what he has up his sleeve.
“Patience, Spencer,” he says with a wink. “All in due time.”

A burst of laughter escapes me as Percival shares another amusing anecdote. He leads the flow of the conversation with ease, our chemistry undeniable.
“I have a question for you,” Percival says, his gaze filled with anticipation and a hint of mystery. His eyes lock onto mine, gleaming with excitement.
I reply with a hand wave, inviting him to keep talking, curiosity piqued.
“Can you take a few days off? Like, soon?”
I raise an eyebrow, my interest further ignited, looking for my pencil and then write. “I probably can. But what’s this about?” My eyes sparkle with intrigue as I study his face, searching for any clues.
Percival smirks, leaning back in his chair. “It’s a surprise. You’ll love it, I promise.”
“Really?” I press, unable to contain my curiosity. “No hints at all?”
“None whatsoever.” He grins, clearly enjoying keeping me in suspense. A smile pulls my lips up, captivated by his playful energy.
Taking a sip of my coffee, I mull over the idea. My heart races with excitement at the thought of experiencing something new and unexpected with Percival. At the same time, my cautious nature kicks in, reminding me that I have bills to pay and responsibilities to uphold.
As I weigh my options, I notice the hopeful look in Percival’s eyes. It dawns on me that this is more than just a fun adventure. It’s an opportunity for us to grow closer and to build on the connection we’ve already established. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from spending time with him, it’s that life is too short not to embrace these moments.
“Alright, you got deal,” I write decisively. “I’ll take a few days off, but this better be worth it.”
His face lights up, and I feel a surge of anticipation for whatever he has planned. As we continuechatting, the world around us fades away, leaving only Percival and me.
With each passing moment, I find myself becoming more and more grateful for this unexpected journey—and for the enigmatic man sitting across from me, who continues to challenge my boundaries and push me towards new horizons.
As we finish our meal, I feel a mixture of anticipation and excitement for the days ahead. My heart swells with gratitude for this unexpected journey, and I find myself eager to discover what awaits us around the corner.
“Ready to go?” Percival asks, standing up and offering me his hand.
