Eternal Destiny - Book 2 (Second book in The Ruby Ring Series)
by Chrissy Peebles
Sarah stared up at millions of tiny, twinkling stars. “I’ve never seen so many stars in my life.”
“I could lose myself here in this place,” Victor said, gripping her hand tightly.
“Me too. It smells like the air after a heavy rainstorm, fresh and crisp.”
A great waterfall tumbled down towering, steep canyon walls. Everything gleamed under the silver moonlight. In the soft, swirling mist, a geometrical formation in the air caught her eye. A giant, stunning arc of opalescent light and bands of pastel hues appeared in the droplets of moisture, spreading across the falls like some kind of giant banner. She couldn’t stop staring; there was something magical and mystical and addictive about nature’s perfection, her fragile beauty. “A glowing rainbow…at night?”
Victor wrapped his arm around her. “It’s called a moonbow. It has to be a clear night with dark skies, lots of waterfall mist, and a full moon that rises over the granite walls.”
She smiled and snuggled against his chest. “It’s breathtaking.”
“It’s very rare,” he said. “It happens only a few days a year.”
“Wow. I can’t believe we’re actually witnessing it.”
Victor leaned in against her. “Maybe it’s a glorious sign that we’re meant to be together for all eternity.”
She grinned as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. “I’ve got an idea. Let’s go in for a dip.”
His mouth opened to speak, but before he could refuse, she grabbed his hand and started pulling him into the cool pool of water.
“Sarah…” he said.
“What? Are there hungry fish with big, sharp teeth that’ll eat us?”
“No, it’s completely safe, but this isn’t something royalty does.”
“Are you forbidden from spontaneity, Highness? From having a little fun?”
"What are you doing? You idiot! Give me that damn thing!" I grabbed the scoop out of Grimshaw's hand. He looked up in surprise and pushed his glasses back up.
