Understanding that he couldn’t wait for this, how sweet and creative he was with the photo, and as eager as she was to start planning? She was quickly realizing it would give them both something to look forward to.

Hitting reply, she began to type.

My bodacious Bunt-boy,

I really like the way you ad-libbed and called me your ‘forever date’ – and I didn’t even catch it until we’d hung up. So, if you get to add to my title? Then I am certainly adding to yours.

As soon as you have those dates, I’ll get started planning and send you links so you can see what I picked. I’m assuming you will be flying from your location? So, we may need to talk before I buy plane tickets just to verify.

I guess I should go shopping for a new swimsuit, something with a skirt… or maybe bloomers like women wore in the 1900’s. I can just picture several people’s faces if I was to strut out onto the beach in bloomers.

I guess I should have asked if you wear plain swimming trunks – because if you wear a speedo, you might be on your own. I believe in modesty, too.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I’m really glad you called. I seriously missed your voice and didn’t realize how much until now. I know this is crazy – but I think I really like our type of crazy.

Until next time,

Your forever date,

Jana

Clicking send,she was stunned to get a reply back moments later from Matthew, realizing he must be on the computer at that exact time, too.

Youaremy forever date…because I’m not looking anywhere else. Why would I? I’ve met perfection and nothing else will do. I really like our kind of crazy, too.

I’m not sure about ‘bodacious’ – but it did make me laugh so much that I had to turn off my monitor when someone peered over my shoulder to look. These guys struggle with privacy… sheesh!

Please no bloomers – and yes, plain swimming trunks. Bloomers make me picture what’s lurking underneath and… well, yeah, we shouldn’t even go there.

I’ll get those dates and write you tomorrow, Beautiful.

Matthew

I’ll be waiting– and I can’t stop smiling right now.

By the way, have I told you how proud I am of you quitting smoking?

You havethe most breathtaking smile and I’m so glad we took photos together, because I always look at them. Did I mention I really like our type of crazy? Because I can’t stop smiling either.

I’m supposed to be heading to the mess hall and you should be going to bed soon, shouldn’t you?

Thank you for saying that – I’m seriously trying to quit, and I appreciate the support. I’ve been fighting the urge to light up for nearly three weeks now and holding out. They say it takes thirty days to break a habit. I’m getting close to being three-fourths of the way there.
