Unfolding Love -| The Ink Well Fiction Prompt #138

The sun began to dip, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. The waves whispered gently to their visitors, and the sandy shore wasn't left out as the waves caressed it, leaving behind a trail of frothy lace. The calls of seagulls competed with the chit-chat of the large crowds.

Elaina, a young chocolate lady in her mid-20s, her sundress blowing in the breeze, spun her hair and adjusted her specs as she approached her resting seat with two coffee in her hands as she walked towards Liam. Liam, a young man in his mid-30s in a plain white shirt, fixed his gaze on her with mixed excitement.

The memory of their first disastrous meeting flooded Liam's mind. He smiled sheepishly as he remembered that day—the wind snatched his hat, sending it to Elaina. Together, they chased the hat, feeling the cool sand beneath their feet. Their laughter mingled with the crashing waves. Little did they know that this playful act would become a beautiful story in their future.

The beach, a place of peace for the two souls, held much taste in the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mixed in beach side cafes. The rising sun that day was a witness to their encounter on that fateful day.

Being a witness to all that concerned Elaina and Liam, the beach bore witness to all their life journeys. "Yeah, what's making you so excited, babe?"

"I can't get the memory of that fateful encounter that connected us together. You are everything I sought, and having you forever is my desire."

"Now you want to make me cry, come on, babes, you know I love you more, right? Here, have your coffee; it tastes nice."

After consuming the coffee, the duo set out for a walk. Liam, with his sharp eyes, led Elaina to the exact place where their first worlds began. The waves ceased, the air crackled with so much anxiety for that moment that would echo loudly in the hearts of all witnesses. At first, Elaina was confused and clueless about anything as she refused to wonder.

Liam was like a gentleman; he kneeled on the cool sand. "Elaina, from that very day the blowing breeze made us chase a hat, I knew you are the treasure that I seek. Will you make me the happiest man on this beach today and in life forever?" The crowds filled the air with applause.

Elaina, with eyes filled with glittering tears, responded, "Yes, I will, yes!" The crowd increased their applause and cheered, the waves providing a calming background to their beautiful beginning.

As Liam stood up and held Elaina's hand, the soft sand between their toes brought back their beach memories. As the applause faded and they exchanged smiles, the beach became first witness to their future together with the promise of forever love.
