Chapter Twelve
After supper, Nick and Becca decided to take another walk on the beach.
“Becca, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive…why?”
“It’s just, well, I’ve loved you forever, and I have made mistakes, and we have been through many hard times, and I was just wondering, if, um, well…will you marry me?”

“Oh my gosh…Nick, it’s beautiful! I can’t believe…I don’t know what to say!”
“Well, yes would be nice!”
“Yes, of course I will!”

And now she wouldn’t leave them alone. Between the ages of 18 and 21, he felt like he didn’t know anything about her anymore. But then they started to hang out again, and it seemed as if they had never been apart. He wondered what the next couple of months had in store for him…
