The Walk

Alongside the water, two shadows were walking hand in hand. The tide crept in, erasing the footprints in the sand, as they walked by. Their laughter echoed everywhere, but no one could hear. This is what they have been waiting for, to seize the moment of being alone together, sharing a memorable night with each other. As he faced her, he held her right hand and gently slide the ring to her finger.
"I am giving you this ring. A promise to give you the world and to give you love that will last forever," he said to her.
She held his hand tight, smiled and replied, "And this is for you." she continued, "this ring is for you to keep. It symbolized our especial friendship and commitment to us forever."
They were both certain about their feelings for each other. He put his arms around her, as they continued their memorable walk. The beach curved away into the darkness, and the two shadows gradually disappeared.
"How long until the moon rise?" she asked
He replied back, "not much longer,"
As they reached the end of their walk, they could hear from a distant the sound of water crushing into the rocks. They watched and listened one more time, as another wave crashed against the nearby rocks; then, their shadows completely disappeared in to the darkness
