whisper.
“Paul, when I thought I would never see you again…”
“That will never happen,” he assured her. He took both of her hands in his. “Forgive me, Suzie, but I can't wait any longer,” he said before meeting her lips with his own. The kiss was slow and sensual, it sent shivers up and down along Suzie's spine. As their lips parted, the words tumbled from the tip of her tongue as naturally as the waves flowing to the sand.
“I love you, Paul,” she said and gazed into his eyes.
“I love you too, Suzie,” he replied. “From the moment I met you, and until the end of time,” he kissed her again. Suzie forgot about all of her fears. She forgot about losing herself in romance. All she felt was gratitude that she had been given the chance to speak the truth to the man she loved.
“Suzie?” Mary called out from the path that led down to the beach. “Are you two decent?” Suzie pulled away from Paul and went running towards Mary.
“My hero!” Suzie said as she hugged her. “If you hadn't warned Jason about what I was up to, I don't think Paul or I would be here right now.”
“Some hero,” Mary scoffed. “All I did was cook dinner. Although it is delicious. I hope you're both hungry?” she looked between the two of them.
“Oh yes,” Paul said.
“Absolutely,” Suzie agreed.
“Finally,” Mary laughed. As the three of them walked back towards Dune House, Suzie felt wonderful to finally be heading home. On the porch they met Officer Brown who was stepping out of the house along with some other officers.
“We found the drugs,” he informed Suzie. “You were right, they were hidden in Trent's room. It looks like this will be an easy case to wrap up.”
“The sooner the better,” Paul said as he hugged Suzie around the waist.
“You stay safe,” Officer Brown said sternly.
“Are you sure you're not hungry?” Mary asked with a sweet smile. “There's plenty to eat.”
“No, ma'am,” Officer Brown said respectfully. “I think it's best you have a little peace tonight.”
“All right then,” Mary nodded.
“Now, I want you to tell me just how you found me,” Paul said as he led Suzie into the house. “And, promise me, you will never do it again,” he said sternly.
“Sorry, sweetheart,” Suzie smiled as she pecked his cheek lightly. “I'd do it a thousand times over, if needed. Bonnie Blue and I can't live without you!”
