"Are you sure you're ready for this?" I teased Jess as we approached the Tower of Terror.

"Heck yeah I am!" she excitedly replied before happily skipping down the street as we approached the ride.

One of the things I loved and appreciated about her was how, despite her millions, she was easily made happy by the little things in life.  She always had a smile on her face, even if it did, literally, rain on our day.

We made our way off the ride, laughing the entire way.

"Are you ready for lunch?" our tour guide asked us.

"I'm always ready for lunch," Jess said as she rubbed her belly playfully and the rest of the group agreed- it was time for some food.

We were escorted back to our hotel, where we were given a table at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar.  It was a very small, but fun, bar and no trip to Disney would be complete without a round of drinks there.  Due to its size, it was hard to blend in with the crowd.

"So, we can order a bunch of things to share," I started.  "But, what they're really known for are their drinks.  They come in super awesome mugs, and you get to keep them," I winked at Jess.

We all ordered drinks and our waiter eventually returned with them.

"Do you remember that drink?" I asked, motioning to her zombie mug

"Do you remember that drink?" I asked, motioning to her zombie mug.  She looked at me quizzically.

"No?"  she replied, as she furrowed her brow.

"Do you remember that time we ran into each other in London?  At Kanaloa Club?"

"Vaguely," she smiled.

"That night, you were wearing this amazing gold mini dress.  You were a total smokeshow," I said to her and she blushed.  "Seriously, you would not believe how good she looked that night.  Mile long legs, gold dress, wavy blonde hair, high heels.  She looked like a Victoria's Secret model," I said to everyone else.

"I don't think I've ever heard this story," Kate smiled.

"I have," Ryan smirked.

"Anyway, you looked amazing, just like you always do.  But, you were drinking zombies at the bar that night.  That night..." I trailed off.

"He called me the next morning, after you guys went out," Ryan said.  "I knew...there was something more there for him then.  He was all...smiley, even on the phone."

"What can I say?  You were always my dream girl.  That night, we had the most amazing time together.  Maybe it was because neither of us were actually trying to impress the other, but I engrained those memories in my mind.  I will never, ever forget that night."

"I love how you remember little details like that," she replied as she kissed me.  "Can ya'll excuse me for just a moment?  I need to go to the ladies room."
