Today was our last day in St. Barts, and I was excited for New Year's Eve since we were throwing a little party on the yacht. The staff had been working all day to get it together while we had been chilling. I felt kind of bad that I wasn't helping, but honestly, it was kind of nice.

"Are you ready for a new year?" Harry smiled.

"New year, new adventures. Just think, this time last year we were broken up and I was about to leave with my abuser."

Harry's jaw clenched. "Well, let's not think about that. We are where we want to be and happy."

"You're everything I've ever wanted and more. Thank you for being there for me. Without you and everyone else, I probably wouldn't be here."

"Nope, none of that. You're here now, and I'll always be here for you. Nothing will ever keep me away again."

I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "I love you."

"Forever and always." He kissed me.

"Okay you two, save the kisses for midnight," Gemma sat down next to us.

"Hey Gem, what's up?" I asked.

"Nothing, just a bit bored. How about we go to town for a bit of shopping before the festivities?"

"Aren't the shops closed? It is New Year's Eve."

"I'm sure my baby brother could pull a few strings."

"Absolutely not!" Harry shook his head.

"Come on, Harry. Not even for your sister and girlfriend?"

"Especially not for my sister and girlfriend. No spending money today. Just fun."

"Fine, let's go to the beach and swim and have fun there."

"That sounds like a plan." He gets up and puts on his captain hat. "I'll get everyone and meet you at the boat." He smiled and walked off.

"What a nut," Gemma shook her head.

"But he's our nut."

"Are you sure you want to stay with that?"

I smiled. "Always. I can't wait for it."

"When do you think he'll propose?"

"I have no idea, but I really don't care."

"Any specific way you're hoping for?"

"Nope, just as long as he asks my dad for permission. Knowing him though, it'll be romantic and a spur of the moment thing."

"Sounds like him."

"Okay, let's go. I'm sure captain Harry is waiting."

After spending the day hanging out on the beach, we all gather up to make our way back. Harry and I both had our cameras out all day taking pictures.
