1 As Ellie took Mike's hand, she wondered what he had planned. As they

began walking she became even more anxious. Then her mind began to wander. Where is he taking me? Maybe to shore or the diner? Wherever it is I hope he kisses me or even more. Oh my God! I sound like a schoolgirl! How pathetic is that?

"Mike where are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there," Mike said flashing a sexy grin that melted her to the core. "Remember patience is a virtue."

" Yeah! One virtue I never achieved," she muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Mike asked knowingly.

"Nothing."



Mike thought he had stopped breathing when he had seen Ellie. She was wearing a gorgeous black, mid-thigh, spaghetti strap dress. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Then her voice had penetrated his thoughts, asking where he had been. He couldn't tell her of course: it was a secret. And one he intended to keep. At least for right now. As he listened to her mutter, he looked up and saw they had reached their destination. As he glanced at Ellie it was obvious she was oblivious to where they where.

"Here we are."
