"Oh osh, there it is!" Lex shouted as she popped up out of the cabin "I haven’t been on that island in so long Oh, Will, I wish you could see Mr Shelton’s ho I haven’t seen it since I was eleven, I think The last hurricane did so was built to last"

I just grinned and pulled her next to ave me a wink as he made his way over to the private dock "That’s Kip, Mr Shelton’s ranch hand He’ll be taking care of y’all while I hang out here"

Reaching out to shake Jonathon’s hand, I said, "Sounds good Thank you so much, Jonathon"

Lex shook his hand next and said, "Thank you so ht"

"Will and Alex? I’m Kip," he said as he helped Lex out off the yacht

"Hello, it’s a pleasure toout and shaking Kip’s hand, I introducedthe tiun walking off down the beach I smiled as I watched her

"She is totally clueless, isn’t she?" Kip asked

I rocked back and forth on my feet I was proud of the fact that I had been able to keep this surprise from her "Totally clueless"

"If you want to take advantage of asking her at sunset, I suggest we head up to the house and start with dinner My wife, Cassie, did all the decorations Mr Shelton is thinking of having weddings at the house, and when he sa Cassie had done up the place for y’all, he said he was one step closer to that" Kip had a huge s?" I asked

"Nah, she’s just a rancher’s wife stuck on an island and bored out of her mind If Mr Shelton did this, it wouldto do"

I let out a sigh "So, tonight’s like a test run?"

Kip chuckled "No pressure, but yes I hope y’all like what Cassie has done"

"We’re going to love it" I looked back at Lex as she stood with her feet at the edge of the water "Lex!" I called out

When she looked at me, I waved for her to come back She picked up her flip-flops and headed back over to the dock
