“Before we get to our next song, I have a little surprise. We’re going to be making history here tonight” I said, as I pulled the microphone from the stand.
I approached Marlana and we locked eyes. I could see the anticipation in her eyes, wondering what surprise I had in store for her. I pulled a small, dark velvet box from my back left pocket and got down on one knee. I opened the box, revealing a silver ring with interlocking heart shaped jewels, which were our birthstones; aquamarine for mine (March), and a citrine for hers (November). She now realized what was happening and was in shock that I chose this occasion to do it.
I had the microphone in my other hand and spoke into it, “I couldn’t have picked a better place or time to do this but…Marlana Sheetz, will you marry me?”
Marlana was speechless; she held out her hand, nodding her head with watery eyes. I slipped the ring on her left ring finger and informed the stunned crowd, “She said yes”.
She leaped into my arms and I spun her around a bit, cliché I know as the crowd erupted into cheers. Even the other band members were stunned that I chose this occasion to pop the question but they were genuinely happy for her, given that they also knew what Marlana had been through and felt she deserved something good. Time seemed to stand still in this moment.

Avalee was pinned squarely beneath him. When she didn’t answer right away, he grabbed her face and turned it toward his own. His deep concern was obvious.
All Avalee could do was giggle. She couldn’t help herself and decided there was only one way to stop. She grabbed Devon Ryan’s head and pulled it toward her own until their lips met in a crushing kiss.
They lay frozen in that position for a millisecond, until the captain pulled away abruptly, causing the boat to rock back and forth. He stared down at her with his arms fully extended on either side of her head.
“No. This isn’t right. I’m sorry, Lee. I’ll admit you’ve confused and confounded me, but . . .”
Avalee reached up and pulled the scarf off of her head. She then began unbuttoning her shirt and loosening the tight wrapping around her chest.
As her breasts broke free from their hiding place, Captain Ryan’s eyes grew big. He jumped to his feet.
“What is this? Who are you?” He bent down and grabbed her by the arm, savagely lifting her to her feet. Her long braids cascaded down her back as she looked up into his confused eyes.
