It’s been three years since you and Lara got married, and today was your special anniversary. The two of you decided to celebrate by enjoying a peaceful day together at the beach, soaking in the warmth of the sun and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

You walked hand in hand, your fingers intertwined, the sand soft beneath your feet. The air smelled of salt and seaweed, and the sound of the ocean was calming. Lara leaned her head on your shoulder as you walked, both of you sharing quiet laughter and sweet conversation. It was moments like these that reminded you how lucky you were to have found each other.

Suddenly, Lara’s eyes brightened, and she stopped walking, her gaze fixed on something in the distance. You followed her gaze and saw seashells scattered near the shoreline, the sun glinting off their delicate surfaces, their colors vivid against the blue of the water.

"Wifey! Look! Look at all these seashells!" Lara’s voice rang with excitement as she took off towards the shore, her laugh bright and full of joy. "They're so beautiful! I want to take them all home!"

She knelt down, picking up a few of the shells with childlike enthusiasm, carefully inspecting each one before showing them to you, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Look at this one! It’s so smooth and shiny!" She grinned, holding up a small seashell to the light, its pearlescent surface catching the sun in a way that made it seem almost magical."And this one!" She picked up a larger shell, its shape perfect, and held it up to her ear, pretending to listen to the ocean. "I can hear the sea!"

You smiled, feeling your heart swell as you watched Lara. She had a way of finding beauty in the simplest things, and you loved how her excitement made everything feel so much more special. She stood up, her arms full of seashells, her eyes still glowing with the happiness of discovery.

"These are for our collection!" She said playfully, holding them out to you like precious treasures, her grin wide and full of love.
