Daphne could only stare at Niles in disbelief.

"Niles, that's ridiculous! You didn't ruin anything!"

"You're an angel for saying so but I'm afraid it's true. And I'm... so sorry."
When he hung his head low, his sad expression brought tears to Daphne's eyes.

Instantly she moved closer to him and rubbed his back.

"Sweetheart, you did nothing of the kind! How could you even think that?"

"Because it's true." He said so quietly that she barely heard him.

"Niles, no..."

"Daphne, look at me! I'm as red as a lobster!" Niles yelled, startling her and the few remaining patrons in Café Nervosa.

"You'd think a man of my intelligence would have enough sense to apply sunscreen protection on a tropical island where the temperature rarely dips below-."

"Niles, please!"

"I was enjoying myself so much that using sunscreen completely slipped my mind and instead of the romantic honeymoon that you dreamt of, I managed to obtain this horrible sunburn; forcing us to spend the rest of our trip in bed in our hotel room! I'm a disgrace of a husband."

"You're a wonderful husband." Daphne said firmly. "You're kind, sweet, considerate, and a heck of a lot more caring than your brother. Even after all this time I still can't believe you fell in love with me. As for our honeymoon, I was blissfully happy wherever we were because I was with you; not because we were on some beach!"

"I love you so much, Daphne." Niles said, gathering her into his arms. He kissed her deeply, wincing at the pain it created.

"Oh Niles, your sunburn!"

But he only smiled and kissed her repeatedly until she playfully pushed him away.

"Niles, people are staring!" She laughed. "What will they think of us, making such a scene?"

"They're probably envious, wondering how someone like me ended up with such a beautiful angel." Niles replied.

Daphne trailed her finger seductively but gently across Niles' chest.

"Or perhaps they're jealous of me incredibly sexy husband."

Niles kissed her once more. "What would I do without you, my angel?"

"I don't even want to think about it, Sweetheart." Daphne replied, leaning her forehead against hers.

Finally she took his hand and smiled. "Come on, Sweetheart, let's go home and get you into a nice cool bath. And then..."

He leaned foreword, almost stumbling in an attempt to hear more.

"And then... what?"

"Well, I'll fetch some aloe cream and rub it all over your sunburned body. Trust me, you'll feel better in no time."

"Check please!" Niles yelled.

"You know... I was thinking... There's plenty of aloe cream at home so after I take care of your sunburned skin, you can rub some all over my sunburned body."

"That sounds heavenly, my angel..." Niles sighed. "But Daphne... Your skin isn't sunburned so why-."

He stopped suddenly and turned to find her walking seductively out of the cafe; turning to give him a glance that sent his heart racing and his thoughts spinning out of control.

Without waiting for the check, he removed some money from his wallet and laid it on the table, rushing to catch up with his wife.

"Dr Crane! Mrs. Crane! This is too much money!" Taylor called after them. "Don't you want your change?"

But Niles and Daphne didn't hear her. They were already walking hand in hand; eager to get home and start the rest of their blissful lives together.
