Prologue
It is a cool summer night. We're walking through the forest. A thin coating of stars covers the night sky. We don't say anything; just appreciate the silence of the night, something neither of us have experienced in a long time. We came to the banks of a river and sat down along the edge; Maria lying down on her back, and me with my knees to my chest. I rested my chin on my knees, thinking.
"Fayt?" Maria broke the silence with her sweet, melodic voice.
"Yeah?"
"Where are you?" She almost whispered it as she sat up.
"I'm right here?" I replied, a bit confused.
"Physically, yes, but it seems as if your mind is in a whole different place."
"Oh, well, I was just thinking about how I have taken everything in my life for granted. Before the wars, I wouldn't think twice about some silly stars in the sky. But now I can't stop looking at them and appreciating them." I looked down at my shoes, studying every detail. I could feel Maria staring at me with her chocolate eyes.
"That is so beautiful," she breathed. I looked up and my eyes met hers. Her beauty was mesmerizing, as if Aphrodite herself created her with her own two hands.
"Wow," I breathed, not sure what else to say.
"What?" she replied, curiosity spreading over her face.
"I can't believe I never realized how beautiful you were before." I looked back down, embarrassed. She reached one hand over and lifted my face to hers, till we were barely a centimeter apart. Then, softly, she pressed her lips against mine. Instantly a sensation I had never felt before raced through my veins, And for the first time in my l9fe, I new what rue love felt like.
