The Sun sets, leaving wisps of orange and lavender ribbons across the blue tinted sky.
Anastasia leans on the rail of the promenade deck of the cruise-liner, her soft floral dress blowing in the breeze. Alastair’s muscular arms wrap around her, sharing his warmth in the gentle breeze.
It’s a beautiful day. Their wedding day. 
A clear Autumn sky without a gloomy cloud in sight. The aisle and pews decorated with hues of Autumn, in orange gold, red and faded green; her best season of all.
She felt like a fairy princess floating down the aisle to a wedding march of soft tinkle of waterfall and chirping sounds of birds, accompanied by the choristers well modulated sweet rendition of their song. The wedding party was sublime. Everything! Picture perfect!
As the ocean-liner cuts through the waters to a blissful honeymoon, Alastair nuzzles and plants a soft kiss behind her ears. She wants the moments to last forever.
This is just the beginning of their new life.

Sounds like a great set up. What happened next? An iceberg? Pirates? Sharks? My mind is racing to work out what happened next in their love story.

I do the same thing too 😉 run to the end of the book before it’s finished. They do hit some rocky patch in their marriage but it’s not all ironed out in my head yet. Thank you very much for your visit and comments. I do appreciate them. Kind regards.
