He had gone to great lengths, even consulting marine biologists to track the migration patterns of dolphins just to surprise me.
With a sense of mystery, Conrad led me aboard his private yacht.
Gazing at me with tender affection, he said, “Serena, today is our engagement day and I want to give you a memory you'll never forget!”
In the distance, the shimmering sea was alive with a few dolphins leaping out of the water.
I gasped in excitement, “Connie, I see the dolphins!”
Conrad gazed at me tenderly and asked, “Do you want to see the dolphins up close?”
My eyes sparkled with excitement as I playfully scratched his palm, “Can I, really?”
He nodded. “I’ll do my best to fulfill every wish of yours, Serena!”
Overwhelmed with emotion, I gave him a heartfelt kiss on the cheek.
As Conrad was about to don his diving gear and take the plunge, his phone rang. He checked the screen and his face went from excited to ghostly pale in an instant.
Without a word, he abruptly left me behind and walked off.
The people on the boat exchanged bewildered glances, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
“Miss Kincaid, are you still going to dive?”
My stubborn streak kicked in. “Yes! Why wouldn’t I?”
