ADRIAN’S POV As I drove her to the beach, I was anxious about how she would react. I left all the planning to Massimo and I hoped he did something nice. I stopped at the gift shop a few blocks away from the beach, I walked into the shop and called Massimo to know if everything was ready. He begged for a little more time and I just wandered about the shop before he texted after a while and I went back to the car to get Tessa. I could see the excitement on Tessa's face when she saw the beach and the lampshade. I walked her to a shack and we took off our shoes so we could feel the sand against our feet. The dinner table was by the seashore. We sat down at the table and I excused myself to talk to Massimo. “Hey bro.” I said, giving him a handshake. “Thank you for everything.” I added.
