A Walk With Ephraim

Knock, knock, knock.Getting up from my bed, I went over to my bedroom door and opened it. Much to my happiness and surprise, Ephraim was standing on the other side."I didn't wake you up, did I, Ev?"Ephraim whispered."No, not at all." I whispered back, giving Ephraim a genuine smile. "What's up?""I was wondering if you wanted to go on a late night stroll on the beach with me.""Just the two of us?" I asked, hopefully."Just the two of us." Ephraim smiled at me."Then, yes, I would like that very much." I replied, smiling and blushing a little. "Give me a minute to get changed, and I will meet you downstairs."
