After some time, and I do mean some time, as in days later, we reach the end of the United States: Naples, Florida, and damn, is it nice...
The first thing Mercedes and I do is go to the beach. It is pretty empty there, probably due to the weather, but it seems just fine to us. We went in the water for a while, just up to our ankles, and we watched the sunset together. I look at her and a smile spreads across my face, one appearing on hers seconds later.
"I love you, Mercedes," I say.
"I love you too, Leo."
I look into her eyes as time slows down. My eyes flicker back and fourth between her brilliant shining orbs and her soft pink lips. I grab her waist and slowly pull her closer to me. And then everything happens at once and I am kissing Mercedes Marie Morelli, the love of my life. After a few seconds, she pulls away and looks into my eyes. Then, our lips meet once again, just as the sun sinks into the vast sea behind us.
