Chapter 119

• We finished dinner on more of an upbeat note, which the wine oddly enough contributed towards. Dad was ecstatic when Bella convinced him to open up two more bottles, which he did so that everyone had at least a third, if not four glasses of it before we excused ourselves, carrying the forth glass of wine and stepped outside.
• "Let's tub...and talk," she told me. I knew mom and dad would no doubt be joining us in a bit. But I was glad for the time alone with her. I wasn't even nervous or the least bit concerned as we stripped down getting naked again, settling down into the hot tub along with the wine we now drank...from her vineyard. Bella's very own...vineyard. It was almost too overwhelming a thought to consider as we clinked our glasses together in a silent toast.
• We then sat in silence after doing that, but only a moment. "Go ahead, ask me. I know you're curious and must be thinking about it."
