The oars fell into the water with a quiet splash, and the boat almost silently slipped along the lake.
Candy sat with her legs outstretched in purple shoes and held a small umbrella over her head. She watched Neil with a smile, he was rowing the boat and led it to the centre of the pond in the Andrew park.
The day was just wonderful - sunlight flashed on the water surface, birds were singing, grass around the pond was neatly trimmed.
The girl looked at the beautiful sunburnt Neil's face with love, he was enthusiastically telling something and smiling.
She loves him!
She loved his dark eyes, so warm and home now, she loved when the forks of flame danced in them, his well-defined eyebrows, his smile, the way he shrugged his shoulders, jerked his chin, his movements, his laughter, his hair framing his face with such cute carelessness.
The girl felt that he held her dear, and that now he loved her not with the love of a spoiled boy, but with the sincere and profound love of a man who appreciate her.
Candy felt that Neil cares about she felt comfortable, even in small things, that now he is attentive and polite with her, and she almost physically felt the warmth of his love.
And when he kisses her, she just loses her mind. It is incomparable sense of delight, when a hot fire coming from the heart spread throughout the body, and the legs do not obey her.
Candy leaned slightly to the right and dropped her hand into the pond. The water was quite warm. The girl jokingly squeezed and unclenched her fingers, extending her hand in the face of the Nile, and a few glittering drops were on his smiling face.
Betrothed lovers laughed with happy laughter, which does not require any reasons at all, only one thought excited these two loving people - they were in love, young and together, and laughter burst from the chest.
Laughing, they leaned forward and kissed each other.
They were alone, and no one could disturb them!
'You know, I dreamed about it,' Neil said.
Candy raised her shining eyes.
'About we were together?'
'Yes. And about how we would sail on a boat. Just like now. Dreamed so long ago.'
Miss White leaned forward.
'And how long ago, how?' She, like every girl in love, wanted to know exactly what her beloved thought about her, and when and under what conditions.
'A long time ago. It was probably more than three years ago. It was August, as it is now. I was sitting on a terribly boring reception organized in my honour, and one of the girls was reading poems about a white sail afar, and I was only thinking of you.'
'Was thinking of me!' Candy admired, keeping her hand near her heart - it started to beat so hard.
'Yes, I thought of you. Of us. How we will be well together. I imagined everything in small details.'
Candy blushed.
'Do you also think about us, at least sometimes?' Neil winked.
'Yes.'
The young man put the oars and took the bride's hands.
'Since then, I've always been thinking of us. I was sure that someday, we will still be together! And now my dreams come true.'
'I love you,' Candy said softly, struck by the strength of the feeling that sounded in his voice.
Daniel kissed his beloved's hands.
'And I love you very, very much…'
The boat drifted inaudibly closer to the shore, where trees grew near the water. Hidden by heavy foliage, they fixed the boat, but stayed in it.
And suddenly the lovers heard the quiet sounds of bagpipes.
