Island Fever 4: Paradise - Chapter 14

... in total agreement. Scarlett had a nice, close-knit family whose traditional values were not too keen with the open-ended nature of the relationship she found herself in. With time, though, I had faith that they would accept and embrace the personal decisions Scarlett had made. She was happier than ever before, and it showed. And despite what others may have thought, I was under the firm assumption that our own family led a very healthy lifestyle. I reached across the table and grasped Scarlett's right hand with my own. "As far as you and your nursing job, sweetheart, I may not fully understand the need for you to do it, and I may not agree with you working those crazy-long shifts you do on a strictly selfish level." "However, I support you and your desire to continue working," I went on. "You're my fiancee, Scarlett, and I love you. You'll be my wife one day very, very soon. I support whatever decisions you make, even if I do not personally or selfishly agree with them.

There will be more trips to the island in the future, I am certain. You have vacation time coming up in December, yes?" I smiled and added, "I say we do the trifecta then for holiday visits - Canada, Ohio, then Maryland." "That would be nice for Trish, Lindsay, Amy and you, and then Pamela so all of you could re-connect with family. Do you think Amy's baby will be old enough by then to go on such a long flight? That might be cutting things a bit close." "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." "We need a photo," Scarlett suggested, producing her phone from her purse. She framed us expertly with the natural daylight accentuating our features to an even greater extent. At the last second, Scarlett kissed my cheek and the ensuing image was, quite simply, stunning.
