With parents as well respected marine biologists who specialized in the species of bottlenose dolphins, they turned their passion into a living and created Dolphin Cove, a sanctuary for dolphins.

Follow Sera and Orion through the depths of trying to see past the skin of someone's soul, trying to remind themselves that you shouldn't always believe what you hear in, Dolphin Cove. *** Ever so slowly, Sera turned her entire body to face Orion as her hand slowly raised itself in the air to brush a curl away that rested over his hooded eyes. She took a step forward, barely any inches separating her chest from his own that heaved up and down with adrenaline. Her hand then fell to his cheek, hot to the touch as she felt the outlining of his jawline in her palm. It was clenched as was the rest of his body as his eyes loomed over her own pair, his entire existence hovering over her small frame that intimidated her soul yet didn't stop her from brushing her thumb against his cheek. "What're you doing, Kit?" Orion whispered as his hands hovered over her hips, resting on them slightly as he feared to hold on yet kept himself composed.
