We wash off the sand in the showers outside. Evan still managed not to get his clothes wet, though. I was soaked, and freezing. Evan had a blanket in his jeep, so he wrapped it around me and hugged me close, kissing my head.
“I must be the luckiest guy in the world,” he said.
“I am the luckiest girl in the world,” I smiled.
He kissed my neck, “Time to go back.”

“You went for a swim? In October?” asked Annie, her eyes wide.
I laughed, “Yup!”
“And you aren’t cold?” she asked.
I looked at Evan’s arms, which were tightly wrapped around me, stopping my shivers.
“Nope.”
She laughed, “You crazy kids.”
I smiled up at Evan and we walked to my room. I changed into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. When I got out, Evan was standing, looking around the room nervously, and tapping his foot.
I gave him a look, “You okay, Ev?”
He laughed nervously, “Yeah. Come here.”
I walked over to him, and he pulled me close to his chest.
“Do you love me?” he asked.
I gave him a sarcastic look, “No. Not at all.”
“I’m serious.”
“Evan! You’re being silly! Of course I love you. More than anything.”
Suddenly, he got on his knee. You’d think I’d be surprised, but I wasn’t. I was content. He opened a black, velvet box, exposing an absolutely beautiful ring that sparkled in the light.
“When you turn eighteen, marry me. Move in with me. Never, ever leave me.”
I kneeled down with him. I knew that wasn’t the proper thing to do, but who cares? He’s my best friend and my fiancé.
“Yes please,” I said, snuggling up to he chest. I put my hand so he could slide the promise ring into place.
“It fits perfect,” he said.
“Yeah, kind of like these,” I said pressing my lips to his.
He smiled, “I love you.”
