“I might,” he said. “First you need to open your present.”
“But, Luke, you already got me something!”
“This is something small…but something I hope will be meaningful.”
He handed me the long, rectangular box the concierge had brought him. I opened it and found the triton shell I’d picked up on the beach. Luke had had it made into a pendant.
“I love it,” I said. “It’s beautiful.”
“You’re beautiful.”
I kissed him and ran my hand tenderly along his cheek. “So what now?”
“Well, I’m looking forward to that role playing thing you were talking about.”
“After that,” I said.
“Tomorrow we’re going island hopping,” he said.
“If you’re up to it.”
“I’ll be up to it. I took worse hits than that when I played football in college.”
“Would you mind if I wrote up our adventure?” I asked. “I’ll change the names, of course, but I think we have an exciting story to tell.”
“Sure, you should write about it!”
I smiled. “If no one wants to buy it, I’ll start a blog. I think we’re gonna have a lot of adventures together.”
“You know it.” He smiled. “Too bad we don’t have costumes for this role playing gig.”
“We don’t have Holmes and Watson costumes, but we do have these.” I went to the bag and pulled out the superhero and villain costumes.
Luke laughed. “What are you waiting for? Get to your lair and get that on. The quicker you get into it, the quicker I can get you out of it.”
Suddenly I was sorry that the police hadn’t given back our furry handcuffs.
