The End

Moving to Florida with Sarah was the best thing I could've done for myself. We have a small house, not too far from her parents, and it's perfect for us. Three bedroom, two bath, kind of thing. One of the extra rooms we made into a guest room, Lily is coming to visit soon, and the other we turned into an office space. There's two desks inside, one for her and one for me. Some evenings we spend in there together. Sarah will put light music on in the background while she grades papers and I do my homework.

"Baby?" She calls from behind her desk.

"Hmm?" I look up from my laptop and she smiles.

"I think we've done enough work tonight. How about we go relax?" She gets up and comes to kiss my head.

"I could make us a bubble bath?" 

"Sounds great." She says, brushing hair out of my face. "You go ahead, I'm gonna put this away so the rest of the night I can just focus on you." 

"Okay." I smile and run down the hall and start the bath. I throw in some bubble stuff and bath salt then stir it around with my hand. When the hot water gets high enough I strip, step in, and lay back. 

"Baby did you use the bath bomb in the basket?" Sarah knocks and comes in. She frowns when she realized I didn't. "Awe you didn't." 

"Oh I thought you might be saving it." 

"No." She grabs it and places it in the water. 

I love to watch them defuse. I can sit and watch videos of bath bombs, soap cutting, and slime for hours. The pink and blue suds flow into the water making a beautiful picture. It reminds me of the sun in a away. How the colors swirl and settle. 

"It's very pretty." I kiss her cheek after she strips and crouches next to me. The bomb finishes then I notice a little bubble thing. 

"Open it." Sarah smiles and bites her lip. 

I do as told and pop open the top. "Holy shit."

"Riley," I look up and shes on her knee. "Would you marry me?"

All I can do is nod and I pull her lips to mine. "Absolutely."
