Carter did the first thing that came into his mind. He jumped right in after her.
Abby came bubbling to the surface, unhurt but shocked, the water was like ice. She looked up only to see a huge body flying towards her and then landing on top of her pushing her down again. They both came up coughing, cold but laughing.
"Are you okay," Carter asked urgently.
"I'm fine, I would have been twice as fine if you hadn't jumped on top of me.
"I was trying to save you.
"Oh, my little hero.
Carter laughed. Abby smiled, she was freezing but she couldn't help but laughing.
"Can you touched," Carter asked.
"Nope, can you?
"Not at all.
"Lets swim in."
"Race you," Carter shouted and he pushed Abby away in his run to the beach.
So they washed up on shore, falling over one another, laughing, freezing, happy, and content. When Abby finally made it to the beach she lay on her back and Carter crawled next to her. Not quite sure of what to do next. But he kissed her, long, and hard. Then reaching in his coat pocket he produced a box.
"Abby, to me you are the sun. You are the moon. You are the stars and you are my life. I love you more than I could ever say, or ever prove. But if you give me the chance, I want to spend the rest of my life trying to prove it to you. Abigail Lockheart, Abigail Wysenski, will you marry me."
Abby let out a gasp. Not knowing what to say, or what to do. She was shocked by the question, by the rock, by the perfectness of the situation. Everything seemed to be closing in on her, the what if's. The what could go wrong. Everything she ever feared, it was getting tighter and tighter. She closed her eyes, almost wanting to scream out, everything was closing in on her. The she opened her eyes, and there was Carter's eyes staring straight at her. All of her fears vanished. Everything. Even the air seemed to stop moving.
"Yes, Carter. I will marry you John Truman Carter.
Carter bent down and kissed her. She quick, when he came up he pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. It fit perfectly, as if it was made for her. She kissed him then, and he reached behind her, unzipping the zipper that held up her dress.
"Carter we can't have sex here.
"Why not? There is no one around."
Abby looked around her, he was right, it was pitch black on the beach, except for the light in the distance from the restaurant. Then she looked at Carter laughed. He took that as a signal. And kissed her again.
They stayed on the beach, while all around them where the crash of waves and surf, laughter from the restaurant, and their love.
