I was disappointed but also relieved that Tristan had to cancel the plans for Orlando. I knew there’d be more opportunities, but I thought a weekend away, just the two of us, may take us to the next level … we’d have sex, in other words. I’d been thinking about sex a lot. I knew our relationship was serious enough for this to become a hot topic anytime now. I’d never really planned my first time … though many times I wondered, when I was younger, if I’d ever have a first time … so I had not specifically decided to keep my virginity until I was married. In fact, I wasn’t sure if I thought that was fair to either party. Mom had repeatedly lectured me about how it was the most important gift I could ever give and I could only give it once, “So you make it count.” I thought I’d know when the right person and right time came along, whether it was before marriage or on my wedding day. Now I was torn.

I knew the right person had come along, but I hadn’t yet figured out the right time. Every time we’d get passionate, my body would scream to continue. But my mind—and Tristan’s self-control—always won and I always felt relieved it ended that way. I didn’t want to regret it when it did happen. I wanted to know for sure it was right and not just hormones taking over. Tristan helped. He had his own issues to deal with—like trying not to kill me. We would go a little longer and get a little further each time before he had to stop.

Not until late March did it even become a discussion between the two of us. It was a memorable night—for more than one reason—at the end of Spring Break, which I had used to finally finish the book. It was just the first draft, but the story was finally out of my head. Tristan took me out on the boat and then to his place so he could make me a celebratory dinner. At least, that’s the reason he’d given me.

After dinner, we went out to the beach to watch the sunset. Unlike the beach by Mom’s cottage, this one was empty. Beaches were generally public property, but people assumed those in front of the big houses were private. Tristan spread a blanket out for us and I sat down facing the water. He usually sat behind me so he could hold me, but this time he kneeled in front of me, his back to the sunset.

“You’re, uh, facing the wrong way,” I pointed out the obvious.

“I prefer this view,” he said with a stunning smile. It was cheesy, but I fell for it anyway and smiled sappily at him. His smile faded as he seemed to be thinking hard about something. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure … you can always ask.”

He ignored my old answer. “How do you see the rest of your life?”

“Oh.
