16 And 24

Craig and I were walking on the beach in St. Petersburg, Florida. I looked over at the ocean and the sunset was almost complete, it was getting dark.

I felt someone wrap their arms around me, I looked over my shoulder and saw Craig. I smiled.
Never did I think this would ever happen, us I mean... but it did.

"Hey looks what I found," Craig said, he reached in his pocket and took out a sea shell that was sapped like heart. I smiled.

"That is so cool!" I exclaimed.

"Look on the other side," He said smiling.

I looked at him questioningly, but he just motioned with his hands to tell me to flip it.
I flipped around and saw a diamond ring on the other side that was tapped there. I gasped.

"Shayna, will you be my wife?" Craig asked.

I nodded as I felt tears of joy slip down my cheeks.

Craig laughed with joy and hugged me tight. "I love you, and I always will."

"Good, I need you. And so does Aidan."

This was the beginning of a new and happier life; one that would actually stick.
