"Class was cancelled" After a tirade from Valeria I skated away. Our odd first encounter didn't stop us from becoming close friends. Our transition from friends to lovers went so seamlessly we ended up with no anniversary date.

After some panic stricken TSA checks I popped the question on our first international trip together. With the help from her best friend Shara we found a garden overlooking Taormina. After frantically looking for the “perfect spot” we found a platform hidden within the park. Disguising it as another photo op I spoke from the heart and hoped for the best.
