“Stuck is such a strong word,” Brittany teased, rolling her eyes playfully. “I prefer ‘permanently attached.’”
“Fair enough!” he chuckled, and with that, they shared another kiss, this one infused with the giddy thrill of new beginnings.
As twilight settled over the beach, the sun disappeared behind the waves, casting a shimmering glow across the water. The first stars began to twinkle above, mirroring the spark in Brittany's heart. This day was already perfect, but as they sat together, the warmth of the sand beneath them, Brittany knew it was only the beginning.
