“Tell me more Mr. Shrink Clairvoyant.”
He laughed out loud. There was a glint in his eyes. Ethan leaned close and I did same. Our foreheads met and then he used both hands to hold my face. I had always been drawn to his large, neat, masculine hands. I liked him touching me. “The sadness is completely gone from your eyes.” He seemed perplexed but happy.
I smiled at him. “I believe I have chased away every real and imaginary dragon in my life. The past is now where it rightly belongs – in the past.”
“Michael….”
“He’s no longer a part of my life. He was an illusion.”
It was like a heavy weight had been lifted off Ethan’s shoulders. “I love you so much, Cupcake, and will spend every day of my life proving that to you.” He had several endearing names and nicknames for me and I liked all of them. I was special to Ethan – not just in words. He loved the ‘complete’ me not just the ‘good’ me. I felt awesomely blessed.
“I love you very much, Ethan, and my love for you increases each day. You’re the real deal.” I said with deep emotion.
Ethan was not showing as much restrain as he usually did. “You have made me the happiest man alive by being in my life,” he said quietly, kissing the top of my nose. I was filled with love for this man who loved me unconditionally and was a man of integrity. After Dick and Michael, I was completely distrustful of men but gradually Ethan had taught me to trust and love again.
I just stared at him now, allowing my love for him to show in my eyes. Although he was extremely good looking, he always made me feel like I was the best thing that ever happened to him. And I believed that I was; just as he was my ideal man and even better. We had decided not to have sex outside of marriage and now the phantom was out of my life, I hoped we would get married as soon as possible. Ethan had made it clear it was my call.
Ethan leaned towards me, took my left hand and then kissed the finger with the diamond engagement ring he had given me when he proposed marriage to me.
I looked hungrily at Ethan. “Can we get married within a week? A small ceremony, just as we wanted all along.”
Ethan beamed at me. “Sure Babe. Our wedding plans have been in the works since the day I asked you to marry me and you accepted. Perfect timing!”
“Ethan, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me and I love you with all my heart.”
“I love you too. Come here, sweetie,” he said in a husky voice. His eyes were smoldering with passion he held in check. As our lips met in a slow, tender yet passionate kiss, I knew the time of the storm was over for me. We had begun our journey on the never-ending road known as heaven on earth.

Have you read my first novel, OCEAN’S DAUGHTER?
Neona is an island where life and legends are a mix of good and unthinkable evil. Initiated into these legends from childhood, little Ina asked too many questions but over time grew to be a woman who silently questioned the beliefs and customs of her people. Even though she avoided crisis at all costs, her life blazed from one crisis to another. Just when she finally finds reprieve, her sanctuary is broken. On her daughter’s fifteenth birthday, Ina discovers an exquisite shell by the sea shore. The same day, a stranger mysteriously arrives on island. Little did she know that this would herald the beginning of a harrowing threat to a secret island life as it had existed for centuries and lead to unprecedented turmoil for her family. Faced with what seems like insurmountable challenges as a mother and grandmother, Ina must make a heart wrenching choice in order to comply with tradition. Consumed by guilt, self-loathing and pain, she transforms into a rebel….
