My heart was overflowing with warmth. I couldn’t resist wrapping my hands around his waist and burying my face over his body to inhale his scent. No matter how powerful the sea raged or how sore my arms were, I didn’t want to let him go—I didn’t care if he remembered who I was, I wouldn’t deny that he was my Dicken, and no external force would take him away from my side, be it space or time, natural disasters, or horrific war. Heck, so what if the apocalypse came in the next instant?

After three years in a long-distance relationship, I secretly traveled a thousand miles to give my girlfriend a surprise. That afternoon, right outside her apartment building, I caught her playing the claw machine with her first love. The girl I had always considered the perfect, completely devoted girlfriend was gazing at him with a bright, tender smile as he manipulated the joystick. The moment the plushie dropped into the chute, she threw her arms around him, her eyes brimming with delight. I clenched my phone and dialed her number. She answered almost instantly, her voice as soft and caring as ever. "Parker? Why are you calling right now? Did you miss me?" I stared fixedly at her f

We don't surf when the hurricanes are right on us, but we do enjoy the powerful waves they create. Mac reassures Dakoda, "Well, I think you're going to do great and even win your division this year." “Thanks for the boost of confidence," Dakoda responds gratefully. Eager to get Dakoda home, I ask if everyone is ready to go. "I'm being selfish because I want to get my girl home and have her all to myself." We arrive at our house about 20 minutes later. “I need to take a shower," Dakoda announces. I playfully suggest, "Want us to join you?" wiggling my eyebrows.

Both Dallas and Ivy just lost it, and their smiles turned to sobs of fear in a matter of seconds. “It's okay, you guys.” Laura knelt down and wrapped her arms around her siblings, pulling them close. Their tears soaked her shoulders as soon as their little faces got close. “It's totally safe. As Ethan said, it's not a regular airplane. It's a private jet. It's different.” “It's not safe!” Ivy shouted, through a wall of tears. “We don't want you to go,” Dallas said, squeezing her even more tightly. “You get to come too, though,” Laura said. “Don't you want to see the ocean?

I told Darren. Darren flicked his hand and a tiny little firework popped up on the tip of his fingers. Mr. Weasel was excited. "Do it again! Do it again!" He wrapped Darren's arm and begged.
