Barbados had been so good for the couple, not to mention Lulu their little baby who came everywhere with them, the dog getting bigger each and every day.

She really was like their child.

The sun had shined every day the two were there, the warm air healing the bitter wounds left behind by the winter in Boston.

“Bear?”

Elodie called out from the deck of their beach home that she’d rented for the trip, the sunsets and sunrises absolutely stunning. Elodie furrowed her brows when there was no answer back, turning to look towards the open french doors.

“Teddy?”

A few seconds passed

“Yep-Yeah here!”

“Everything okay?”

He nodded and came over, pressing a kiss to her forehead

“Should we go for a walk with Lulu now?”

Elodie nodded and took Teddy’s hand, taking slight notice of how clammy his hand was, but she played it off to how humid it was this evening.

Lulu had started to trot off in-front of them as they swung their arms back and forth, waves crashing against the shore providing a soft white noise. Nothing ever really needed to be said between the two of them, both being so comfortable and in love with one another that silence was sometimes the right thing.

“I’ve really enjoyed getting away from everything with you baby…” Teddy spoke up softly, causing Elodie to look up at him and smile softly

“Me too love…it’s been nice to have a little time for ourselves.”

The couple had made it down to where the beach ended, smooth faced rocks lined the edge of the water, a spot they’d come to watch the sunset every night.

Of course Lulu had beat them there and was sitting patiently waiting.

“Elle?”

“Yeah?”

Teddy took a breath and stopped, looking out at the water before back at her

“You know I love you right?”

Elodie furrowed her brows but nodded

“Of course I do Teddy…I love you so much too”

“We’ve been close since we were kids, and I knew even as a teenager it would be you and always you…i’m sure everyone else around us did too, honestly Ryan had a bet on it from even before we started dating”

Elodie laughed and nodded her head

“That’s not surprising at all, sounds like a very Ryan thing to do”

She smiled as he nodded and let out a quiet laugh before taking both her hands

“The thing is, I love you so much with everything in me and there is never ever going to be someone else-“

“Teddy…”

“No let me finish…”

Elodie nodded, her heart rate picking up as she watched Teddy take another deep breath before squeezing her hands

“Elle you make me laugh, you fill my days with endless amounts of sunshine and love. You’re my rock when things get hard, my biggest supporter through all of my endeavours and there is no one else more perfect for me than you..”

If there was anyone Elodie was like it was her mother Ro because the tears had begun to line her eyes the second he’d finished, only spilling over when Teddy got down on one knee and pulled out a ring: not just any ring, his grandmother’s ring

“Elodie Marie Styles, will you marry me?”

Elodie was a babbling mess of tears as she nodded

“Yes…a million times yes i’ll marry you Teddy!”

It felt like a weight lifted off Teddy’s chest at Elodie’s answer, one he’d only dreamed of at one point. He wasted no time sliding the ring onto her finger before standing up and taking her face into his hands, his lips colliding with hers.

It was only when they pulled away that he swiped the remainder of tears from her cheeks, looking down at her with a look of love only reserved for her.

“I love you. Then, now and forever Bee”

Bee, the nickname she’d had as a kid, affectionately given by their mothers, Bear and Bee had come along way from crawling with each other to now in this moment, getting engaged.

“I love you now and forever Bear…I can’t wait to be your wife”

A friendship that started as children, only growing as the two got older, from beat friends, to boyfriend and girlfriend and now engagement. There was no one else in the world more perfect for Teddy than Elodie, and no one else more perfect for Elodie than Teddy.

The future was only just beginning.
