**Chapter 13: "A Night to Remember"**

The sun was setting over the Miami skyline as Lucas pulled up to Dorothy's house in a sleek, black limousine. He had planned a special evening for her, and he couldn't wait to see the look on her face. He got out of the car and walked up to the door, ringing the bell. Dorothy answered, looking stunning in a red dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. "Lucas, you look handsome," she said, smiling up at him. Lucas smiled back, feeling a surge of attraction. "You look beautiful, Dorothy," he said, handing her a small box. "I brought you a little something." Dorothy opened the box, revealing a gorgeous silver necklace with a small diamond pendant. "Oh, Lucas, it's lovely," she said, her eyes shining with delight. Lucas helped her into the limousine, and they drove to the waterfront, where a luxurious yacht was waiting to take them on a sunset dinner cruise. As they set off, Dorothy couldn't help but feel like a queen, with Lucas by her side and the wind in her hair. The dinner was exquisite, and the company was even better. They talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company as the sun dipped below the horizon. Dorothy felt like she was on cloud nine, and she couldn't believe how lucky she was to have met Lucas. As the cruise came to an end, Lucas took Dorothy's hand, leading her to the rail of the yacht. They stood there, looking out at the stars, the city lights twinkling like diamonds below them. "I had a wonderful time tonight, Lucas," Dorothy said, feeling his warm breath on her ear. Lucas turned to her, his eyes locked on hers. "I had a wonderful time too, Dorothy," he said, his voice low and husky. "You're an incredible woman, and I feel so lucky to have you in my life." Dorothy's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a soft, gentle kiss. She felt like she was melting into his arms, like she was home. As they pulled back, Lucas smiled at her, his eyes shining with adoration. "I have one more surprise for you," he said, leading her back to the limousine. They drove to a secluded spot overlooking the ocean, where a romantic picnic was set up, complete with candles, flowers, and a bottle of champagne. Dorothy gasped in delight, feeling like she was in a fairy tale. Lucas poured her a glass of champagne, and they sat down to enjoy the rest of the evening together. As they sipped their champagne and talked, Dorothy knew that this was a night she would never forget, a night that would stay with her forever. And as they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, Dorothy knew that she was falling deeply in love with Lucas, and she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
