The next morning we got up and took a walk on the beach.

"This is awesome Theo."

"I could see getting married here." He grinned.

"Is that so? Are you asking Theo?"

"Maybe one day." He said squeezing my hand.

I couldn't help but smile. I would marry Theo today if he asked me to.

Around lunchtime, we were in a cafe having a sandwich and an iced coffee when Donnie called.

I couldn't help but laugh when Theo was laughing. "She said your welcome dad."

I smirked because I knew it was about all of the chocolate.

When he hung up he laughed. "Dad said he's in chocolate heaven and he loves you."

"He's so funny! I really like your parents Theo."

"They really like you too. Your parents are kind and I never grew up with hugs and kisses. I mean not from my dad. Mom always doted over us but I don't think I have ever hugged my dad."

"Theo that's so sad but I will give you all of the hugs and kisses that you want."

Before he could answer mom called to say dad is getting discharged so after we finished our sandwiches we headed back to the hospital.

Dad looked so much better today and mom was smiling as we walked into the room.

"How did you guys sleep?" Mom asked.

"Great mom! Thank you for letting us stay we loved the house and even went for a walk on the beach this morning."

"Ready to move out of New Hampshire?" Dad asked laughing.

"I can't leave my candy dad."

"I know sweetie I was just messing with you. Let's get home I'm hungry!"

The nurse rolled dad out to the car and Theo went and got the car and brought it around.

Mom wanted Theo to drive and we stopped and picked up more food and then headed back to the house.

Theo helped dad in the house while mom and I got the food out.

"So Theo what do you do?" Mom asked.

"I work for my dad at Kingston Paper. I have all kinds of accounts to stay busy with."

"He now can make chocolate," I smirk.

"Is that so?" Dad asked.

"Oh yeah, dad he's pretty good at it."

"So how did you two meet?" Mom asked.

"Theo here came in the candy store wanting reindeer poop at Valentine's."

"Are you the kid I used to make that for?" Dad laughed.

"I was and a girl came with me and we came every year for the reindeer poop it was her favorite." Theo smiled.

"What happened to her?"

I looked over at Theo and he dropped his head.

"She passed away at an early age dad and he was just trying to continue their tradition."

"I'm sorry, Theo but I'm glad you came into the store. You remind me so much of your dad."

"My dad loves the candy and he told me how you guys used to be friends and go fishing and bet." He laughed.

"Oh yeah and then he would ask for candy if he won."

"Sounds about like him."

"Dad the biggest boxes we have I have now made him three of them."

"No way? Are you kidding?"

"He's having to use the gym at work Chuck." Theo laughed.

Later in the evening I really wanted to walk on the beach again and Theo was up for going with me.

"Mom we will be back in a bit but call me if you need anything."

"Take your time sweetie we will be fine."

We walked down a bunch of sidewalks and steps and made it down to the beach.

"Your parents are really close to the beach sweetness."

"Yeah I could see coming here for vacation but if I lived here daily I wouldn't be able to work because I would want to be here on the beach."

He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "I would love to come here on vacation or maybe a honeymoon."

"You are something else, Theo."

"Thanks, I appreciate that."

We sit down at the edge of the water as the wind blew and looked out into the water.

"I wish I had some chocolate sweetness."

"Good thing I have some in my pocket."

"Do you really? I never would have guessed."

"I know how much you like chocolates, Theo."

I hand him a piece and he takes it from me and wraps his arm around me. "This is the life sweetness."

"Maybe one day I will retire here."

"That sounds like a great plan as long as I get to come with you."

I smile over at him before laying my head in the crook of my neck. He kisses the top of my head.

"This is crazy Vaylin. We don't know each other for very long but I don't want to spend a day without you."

I raise my head up and look at him. "What exactly are you saying, Theo?"

"I don't want to spend a night apart from you."

"So what are we going to do about it, Theo?"

"I'm not sure yet. I'm ready to ask you to marry me." He said looking at me.

"Really?"

"Is that a good really or a bad really?"

"That's a shocked really Theo. I wouldn't say no."

"That's good to know Vaylin. Wish I had a ring." He smirked.

I'm not sure but I feel excited inside and I would marry him right now on this beach if I could and that's crazy because I am the type of person who plans things out and takes my time to say yes to things but I'm ready to jump right in.

"What are you thinking about sweetness?"

"Getting married on this beach."

"Kind of a destination wedding?"

"Yeah, Theo." I smile over at him.

"Guess I need to go ring shopping soon."

I lean in and kiss his lips and look out at the waves until it got cold and we walked back to my parent's house.
