Chapter 4: Mrs?

It was another day in Ibiza, the 5th in fact for our group of doctor and nurses.

Every day, they had hit the beach, sunbathed, ate and drank, then back to the villa in the pool then on to Pecas' for the night.

Donna, Maria and Martha had abandoned the routine in favour of the clubs of San Antonio.

In the 5 days that they had been there, Paul had met a woman called Lily, Maria had met Max, and Martha had met Dave.

It was another night in S'argamassa.

Martha, Maria, Donna, Max and Dave had gone clubbing while the other's stayed behind.

Diane and Ric had decided to stay in the villa planning on spending a quiet night in together with a movie.

Connie, Sam, Grace, Paul, Lily, Michael, Jac, Joseph and Elliot had remained in the bar, just generally chatting, drinking or playing pool.

Maddy and Linden had decided to take a walk along the beach in the moonlight.

He'd been acting strangely, and Maddy was determined to find out whatever he was hiding.

They had taken off their shoes, and went walking hand in hand along Playa S'argamassa, the waves lapping at their ankles. They could hear the music playing from a bar at a local campsite, a slow romantic melody they had never heard before.

'Dance with me,' he whispered, gently pulling her to face him.

He held her close and they slowly swayed right there on the beach to the blissful music that they heard.

The song stopped, and Linden stroked Maddy's face gently.

'What did I ever do to deserve someone who is as beautiful, smart and caring as you?'

'You were who you are,' whispered Maddy, leaning forward to kiss him.

The song changed, and their song came on, as if by chance.

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

When the song finished, Linden was on the ground, on one knee.

Maddy gasped as Linden kissed her hand.

'Maddy, my beautiful Maddy, my only light in a world of darkness. You know you mean the world to me. Even though we've only been together for a short amount of time, I feel as if I've known you forever. I never thought I'd love again, but you opened up my heart once again. I want to be with you forever. So, Madeline Elizabeth Young, will you marry me?'

Still in awe, Maddy was speechless.

'Yes,' she muttered.

She cleared her throat and spoke up.

'Yes, Linden, I will marry you. I love you so much.'

He took her in his arms and kissed her with all that he was.
