What Wonders to Behold

“Do you trust me?”
“No.”
“Well, hell, girl, this plan isn’t exactly off to a roaring start.”
“I’m teasing, silly, of course I trust you. I let you drive me all the way out here to heaven knows where with this stupid thing covering my eyes the whole time, didn’t I? Are we there yet? This isn’t as much fun since we parked. I’m getting tired of walking.”
“Almost. Just another few miles or so.”
“What?!”
“Don’t stop! I’m joking. Yeah, we’re just about there. Two more minutes, I swear.”
“Where are we going, babe?”
“I didn’t tell you the first five thousand times you asked. What makes you think I’ll spill the beans this close to the surprise?”
“Fine, fine. This better be good though. I’m starting to get all sweaty.”
“Yeah, that was part of my plan. You’re so sweet and sexy when you’re sweaty.”
“My, my, aren’t you feisty all of a sudden?”
“Please. You know you love it.”
“Maybe. A little bit. But this trek is starting to lose you points in a hurry!”
“Then it’s a good thing we’re here! OK, give me your hand so I can guide you across this cliff.”
“I don’t think so! I’m not blindly crossing some…”
“There’s no cliff. Settle down. You just need to step up on this rock with me. It’s perfectly safe, I promise.”
“OK. How high up are we anyway? Where are we?”
“Drum roll please! You ready for the big reveal?”
“Yes! It’s about time.”
“Sure?”

“Yes!”
“Positive?”
“Stop it! I’m taking this thing off right now if you…”
“Here, let me do it for you, girl. Now … what do you think of this?”
“Oh my God … I love you!”
“Music to my ears. I love you, too, baby.”
“The water is so clear. It’s beautiful. I can’t believe this.”
“Welcome to paradise. At least for the next five days and four nights. That’s how long I booked the resort for. Come on, let’s head back down and check in. That ocean is calling our name.”
“I think that might be the sound of the bedroom you hear calling our name first.”
“And the song becomes a symphony. Come here, you sweaty thing!’
