A moment on vacation

My boyfriend and I were in Punta Cana for a friend’s wedding. We stayed for five nights. The day partner and I sat on the beach sipping beers. All was glorious. I stood up, and was talking to my friend,

A stranger man walked along the shoreline, carrying animals. He approached us. We knew he was trying to sell us something, so we said no thank you and ignored them. Then, I felt claws on my scalp.

I gasped. “$20 for a photo!” the stranger said to us.

“No, thanks! No thanks!” I said. The stranger placed a gecko on my shoulder.

Then, my partner said, “No thanks! We’re not interested” Then, the stranger took away the animals, and walked on.
