I shuffle forward to admire the fancy villa next to Quincy.

He wordlessly holds his hand out, a serene smile on his face.

I hold up my camera and snap a picture.

He blinks.

"You're so wholesome."
I sigh, intertwining our fingers.

"It looks way better than I imagined."
He glances at me.

I squeeze his hand.

"I can't wait for you to see the beach."
I whisper, holding down my sun hat as the wind picks up.

He grabs my camera from me and snaps a picture with a wink.

"We should make a scrapbook. Your love for photography has rubbed off on me. You look so lovely with your hair blowing in the wind like that, lovie."
He says, showing me.

I just beam at him.

"Have I ever told you that you're the best man I've ever met?"
I breathe, staring into his eyes.

"Yes, about 12 times in the car."
James grumbles as he passes by.

I roll my eyes.

Quincy just grins and wraps his arms around me.

I bite my lip.

His smile is just the most precious thing ever, it makes my heart squeeze every time.

"I love you more than anything too, baby."
He soothes, his eyes fluttering closed as I stand on my tippy toes and press my lips against his forehead.

He hair grew back fast but just yesterday he told me that he kind of liked his buzz cut.

I liked it too, he looks more serious and brooding without his hair.

It's so sexy.

"Come on, let me show you around."
I take a step back.

He just takes one forward.

I try not to smile.

"Then I'll take you to the beach."
I add.

He shuffles back reluctantly, though clear excitement is on his face.

"I can't wait to learn how to swim and surf. We can kiss later though, yes?"

I reach for his hand again.

"Yes, cutie pie. We can kiss later."
I assure him.

"This is the room that our relationship started in?"
He stops at the door and starts smiling.

But I wouldn't trade the look on his face when he sees the beach for anything in the whole world.

"Oh, wow."
He whispers.

Ruby pats his arm, glancing at me.

"This is so cute."
She sniffles as I snap another picture.

He glances at me once and then takes off, screaming at the top of his lungs.

James cracks up.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Lance says, taking off after him.

"A bunch of children."
Liv sounds amused as Derek runs next.
