What the Sea Wind Took

Summary

Ten years into our secret relationship, Alex pulled out a ring at a yacht party.

He leaned against the deck railing, his tone lazy. "Actually, I'm planning to propose tonight. "

The crowd erupted instantly. Someone whistled, someone pounded on a table telling him to get down on one knee, and guessed who the mystery woman he'd kept hidden for ten years might be.

I stood at the back of the crowd, so nervous my breathing came in ragged bursts.

For ten years, Alex had never publicly acknowledged our relationship.
