"Oh I've seen sea glass but I've never been lucky enough to find any sadly. " her eyes roamed the cavern a slight sparkle in her eyes

"Oh maybe I will! " she couldn't contain her excitement again acting like a child
He laughed a little, loving her enthusiasm as he rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. “And maybe if we’re really lucky, we can find a whole sand dollar.”

"I hope so but to be honest I'd be happy to find a broken one. " she said chuckling
“Well, we’ll have plenty of time to go to the beach and look.” he grinned. “And if we don't find one… I'm sure we can find a gift shop or something and buy one.”

"I ordered it off Amazon…. " she said sounding a little embarrassed
“Ok.” he nodded thoughtfully, wondering why she seemed embarrassed. “I admit I don't know where they would have gotten one but I doubt they have employees combing the beach for stuff like that.”

"Yeah I guess that's true, I was just really excited to have on so I bought it. "
“That's fair. I bet a lot of people get excited when they see a rare item like that.” he comforted.

"You think so? " she looked over at him and smiled
“Yeah.” he nodded. “It just means that you're enthusiastic or passionate about things. At least, that's how I see it.”
