“I collect seashells and sea glass.” he laughed, finding it too ironic that she loved rocks and he just took her to a place full of beautiful ones.

"Oh I've seen sea glass but I've never been lucky enough to find any sadly. " her eyes roamed the cavern a slight sparkle in her eyes

He smiled at her. “Hey, who knows. You might get lucky and find some here.” he offered hopefully.

"Oh maybe I will! " she couldn't contain her excitement again acting like a child

He laughed a little, loving her enthusiasm as he rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. “And maybe if we’re really lucky, we can find a whole sand dollar.”

Her face gained another shade of red and she smiled"I bought one of those online before I left but it arrived broken… " she said with a chuckle

“Yeah. Those things are extremely delicate.” he admitted. “I’m personally not sure of any safe way to transport them.”

"I really wish I would have known that. " she said laughing

“It's ok.” he assured. “Sometimes they even just show up on the beach in pieces. Finding one whole is a bit like finding a four-leaf clover.”

"Well I'm not very lucky so well see. " she smiled softly

“Well, I found one once that was mostly intact. So maybe we’ll balance out.” he smiled back.

"I hope so but to be honest I'd be happy to find a broken one. " she said chuckling

“Well, we’ll have plenty of time to go to the beach and look.” he grinned. “And if we don't find one… I'm sure we can find a gift shop or something and buy one.”

"Oh my god they have them in gift shops?! "

“Yeah. I just prefer to find them on my own. It's more fun that way.” he explained raising a brow slightly. “Where do you think you ordered from?”

"I ordered it off Amazon…. " she said sounding a little embarrassed

“Ok.” he nodded thoughtfully, wondering why she seemed embarrassed. “I admit I don't know where they would have gotten one but I doubt they have employees combing the beach for stuff like that.”

"Yeah I guess that's true, I was just really excited to have on so I bought it. "

“That's fair. I bet a lot of people get excited when they see a rare item like that.” he comforted.

"I get a little over the top. " she said smiling

Marcus chuckled softly, smiling back at her. “That's not a bad thing.”

"You think so? " she looked over at him and smiled

“Yeah.” he nodded. “It just means that you're enthusiastic or passionate about things. At least, that's how I see it.”

"Well I guess when you say it like that it isn't that bad. "

He chuckled softly and nodded, leaning back against the wall behind him.

"God this place is beautiful. "

“Yeah. It really is.” he sighed. “It's also one of my favorite places to go when I want to be alone for a while. It's so peaceful.”

"I can see why.. I love this place. "

“Me too.” he said softly. “I could literally spend hours here.”

She walked around a bit being sure to stay close to Marcus and walked in the water a little smiling
