The air shifts instantly. It feels like the breeze on the yacht deck just grew thicker with silence.
My hand is already on my chest, my heartbeat racing like crazy.
I keep staring at the sparkling diamond ring in Hunter's hand as his eyes glisten with hope, a hope for a response i'm not even prepared to give him.
This can't be right. This is… this is the wrong timing. Everything is wrong.
“Hunter…” His name comes out as a quiet whisper, but I don't know what to say next.
I can feel the eyes of his friends on us. I don’t even dare look away from him, but I see them.
Liam is grinning, his girlfriend has her hands clasped under her chin, like she’s feeling some kind of dreamy excitement about all this.
They’re all smiling and blushing, as if they’re all in on some beautiful secret.
