After we are done at the restaurant, we ride the yacht around the lake a while longer. I have never been happier than I am right now, with Braxton. When he asks me if I’m ready to go back to the mansion, I am reluctant at first because I am having such a good time, but I remember that there’s plenty to do back at the mansion as well, many things I have yet to see. Besides, we will be alone back there, and while I love seeing the world with Braxton, I also love being alone with him, perhaps even more than I love being here.

We go back...
