Kyri smiled at Evan, glad that he liked her spot. "Well, we'll just have to come back out here when you do have your sketchbook," she told him before kicking off her shoes and stepping back into the water for a moment to let it run over her feet.
While she did, she watched as Evan opened his bag and pulled up the rolled-up parchment. Was this the gift he had spoken about? Taking it from him, she opened it and looked at it, her mouth dropping open in amazement.
It was probably one of the most beautiful pictures she had ever seen. "Oh, Evan," she whispered, her voice catching in her throat. "It's...unbelievable. Gorgeous. Thank you!"
Wrapping her arms around him, she kissed him deeply before pulling back and looking at the picture. She had shown Mike already, but Evan had yet to see her. So she took a breath and locked eyes with him.
"Do you want...want to see what I look like? When I'm transformed?"
