Lorelei's POV: Flashback

I lie on my side curled up in the bed while Nik paints me. I smile.

He finally convinced me to go to Italy.

So far we checked out the Trevor Fountain and I stared in awe at the amazing statues and brilliant designs that were perched up above a shallow pool of crystal blue water. We checked out the Colosseum and I listened as Nik told me stories about the gladiator fights.

"The most exquisite sight in all of Europe." He says with a pearly white smile

"Only Europe?" I tease
"I misspoke." He says as he walks over and gives me a kiss "The world."

I laugh a little.

"That's better." I say

My mind focuses back on the painting.

"Can I see?" I ask
"Not yet love. The paint needs to dry." He says

I gesture him over and he wraps me in a tight hug as I inhale his scent and feel his warm skin. I've never been happier than I am right now. I almost worry that it's a sign that something bad is going to happen but I try and shake it from my mind.

While we wait I shed my clothing and head for the hot tub. I woke up a little steps and then down into the bubbling water.

I let out a deep slow exhale and close my eyes.
