sun beating down on them as the water sparkled all around them. This whole vacation had been like a fairy tale, and win or lose, the moment she thought she might never see him again was all she needed to know that she had to make the dream a reality.

“I love you, Molly,” he told her. “You could never be a disappointment to me even if we moved back to New York and did what my parents wanted. But I don’t want that anyway. I’ve only ever wanted a life with you, someone who just loves me for me. I’ve never had that before, Molly, and you’ve given it to me. So I hate to tell you this, but I’m never letting you go.”

“Let me go?” she asked, smiling as she met his eyes. “I thought you were coming with me to Colorado.”

He nodded. “Yes, because we’re keeping each other forever. And if Colorado is where you’re going then it’s where I am, Prada hiking boots and all.”

She took a deep breath and dived into her future for real. “You can skip the boots,” she advised. “I’ll design your boats, Oliver. We’ll take on your parents and the yacht world together because I’m not leaving you to do it alone. I have a fair amount of savings to invest in the company as well. We’re partners now, in everything.”

Oliver brushed a thumb over her cheek, his eyes wide. “Are you sure, Molly?”

She nodded, never more sure of anything. Leaning in, she kissed him, lingering and letting all her love for him show. Finally, after the bosun had secured Chance’s second speedboat that Oliver had left in the water and the sun set lower in the sky, Molly came up for air, murmuring against his lips. “We definitely need to get your sister back for ruining the end of our vacation, though, right?”

Oliver shook his head. “It might be the end of our vacation, but it’s the beginning of the rest of our lives together.”

Molly melted and hugged him tighter. “You really know the way to a girl’s heart, Oliver.”

A corner of his mouth kicked up. “If that were more true, you wouldn’t have left the first time and both of us wouldn’t be fully clothed in the ocean right now. And besides, the truth is that I’ve been yours since we met, Molly, so just don’t leave again or else I’ll be forced into a kind of entrapment scenario to get you back, which will look really bad for the company we’re creating together.”

“You don’t have to worry. I’m not going anywhere,” she laughed, wrapping her legs around his waist as hope flared deep and enduring in her chest. “Especially since it seems like the best way to get your parents off your back and to get me out of danger is for us to get married, right?”

Oliver’s eyes widened, the same hope she felt expanding her chest in rolling waves of joy reflected back at her. “Are you saying that you would?”

She shrugged. “I guess you’ll have to ask to find out.”

Oliver released her legs around his waist and dragged her back to shore, nearly pulling her arm out of the socket, so he could kneel on sand and not drown.

“Molly,” he asked, her hand in his and water dripping off both of them to pool around their feet. “Will you marry me?”

On a vacation from her real life, Molly couldn’t believe she’d ended up finding her new one with a man she’d fallen in love with so long ago, but now that she had she couldn’t wait to get started.

“Maybe,” she told him, laughing. “If we start this new adventure by not leaving your boat for another month.”

Smiling hugely, Oliver rose and picked her up in his arms. “I thought you’d never ask.”
