We both went to Mozambique for our matric Holiday. Overly excited young adults, fresh from matric looking forward to sun, sand and freedom from books. Surrounded by friends we ventured into a care-free holiday. We've been there for a few days totally oblivious of each other until one night... We went out to explore the Mozam night life, that's when we met at a place situated on the beach, danced the night away and the conversation was endless. Later that night we took a nice long walk on the beach with the waves creeping in, touching our feet as we walk.
We went to Marloth Park for a weekend get away. Had lovely accommodation and enjoyed the wildlife grazing close to the patio. One morning Alfie asked me if I could stay at home so that he can go make us a dinner reservation. I didn't mind taking a short afternoon nap ;) That night we sat at our dinner table, Alfie looking very anxious but his excuse was that he was worried about the farm. Anyway, he disappeared for a few minutes. As I was waiting a waitress told me that Alfie found another table, just up stairs. I was walking up stairs, there were candles lit on each step and the song started playing (Bryan Adams - everything I do) There he was, looking at me and I remember feeling like I was floating towards him. He took both my hands and went on one knee...
