As we stand there, wrapped up in each other’s arms, I can’t help but feel that we’re on the precipice of something extraordinary. It’s as if the world is holding its breath, waiting for us to take the plunge into our future together.

“Hey,” Percy says suddenly, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes. “I have an idea. Why don’t we celebrate our engagement with a little adventure? There’s this beautiful cove not too far from here that I’ve always wanted to show you. It’ll be our first excursion as fiancés.”

He hasn’t changed… at all. He still the same wicked man I found that night. But now he’s all mine.

“An adventure?” I ponder, grinning at the thought. “Yes, I’d love that!”

“Great!” he exclaims, his eyes twinkling with excitement. “But there’s one catch…”

“Uh-oh,” I tease, raising an eyebrow. “What’s the catch?”

“Promise me you’ll be careful,” he says earnestly. “The cove is breathtaking, but it can be a bit treacherous if you don’t watch your step.”

“I promise,” I reply, feeling a shiver run down my spine. There’s something about the way he said that, something that makes me feel as if we’re on the edge of a mysterious adventure.

“Then let’s go,” Percival grins, taking my hand and leading me away from the ocean toward the unknown.

As we walk hand in hand, our hearts beating in unison, I know this journey will lead to more than just a hidden cove, and as the sun dips below the horizon, casting shadows on the path before us, I’m ready to face whatever comes our way. Our story started as an adventure, and the ties around us will keep us… together.

Always together.

The End
