It was the photo Dimitri had taken of them the day they had arrived on Mykonos.
“It’s a picture of us—and not a very good one,” Nancy teased.
“What do you mean?” Mick said, taking a closer look at the photo. “I look spectacular!”
Just then everyone charged onto the beach and dragged Nancy and Mick into the water. A water battle ensued. Finally Nancy, Bess, and George managed to untangle themselves and head for the beach, leaving the others in the water.
“We noticed some heavy conversation going on,” Bess said as she toweled off. “Did you decide about getting married?”
Nancy took a deep breath, then told her best friends about her decision.
“Wow,” George said. “I mean, I’m glad you’re not moving to the other side of the planet, but are you sure you’re all right?”
“Don’t feel bad, you two,” Bess said, throwing her arms around Nancy and George.
Nancy smiled weakly. “Even though I know it’s the right choice, it will still be hard to say goodbye,” she said.
“I know what you mean,” George agreed.
“But soon we’ll be back in the States,” Bess pointed out. “And there’s just something irresistible about All-American guys. . . .”
