In the evening, I sneaked my way up the isolated yacht and made my way to the deck. Staring at the sky, I was overwhelmed by a sense of serenity associated with the starry night.
Christopher must be occupied with the guests. Standing on the deck while staring at the sky, I cracked my brain for a befitting quote to compliment the gorgeous scene.
“The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.” I nodded in satisfaction and complimented, “I’m such a talented woman! Maybe I can write for a living!”
“Do I have the pleasure to join this talented writer over here? Shall we talk about some philosophical topic such as the beginning of the universe?” Christopher approached me under the bright shaft of moonlight. He seemed to be taller and sturdier than usual.
“Stop making fun of me!” I reprimanded him with my lips pursed. I was glad I hadn’t embarrassed myself in front of others again.
He held me firmly in between his arms and asserted with a smile, “I will never make fun of this lovely woman over here.”
I played along with him and said, “You should consider yourself lucky!”
He tried to show me the way to the edge of the yacht, but I stopped him and shared my concerns with him. “No! I’m afraid of drowning!”
“You don’t have to worry because I’ll always be there to keep you safe!” He showed me his hands, beckoning me to join him with a gentle grin that could easily take my breath away from me.
