GOLDEN LOVE BIRDS

LOVER’S POINT OF DOMINICA

The Lover’s Point is the place at the top of the trail to Boiling Lake which was chosen by Benito to confess his love for Alana. He took Alana at the place and told her that from the moment he saw her at the beach, he knew he was destined to be with her. His words poured from his heart, raw and true. Alana, overcome with emotion, broke down into tears. In that moment, she realized that she too had fallen in love with him. The years of longing, the quiet moments of connection, had led them to this very spot, and with a trembling voice, she whispered, “Yes.”
