Tear 1- a tear of hope
Part 1
Alanna
looked around the campfire of her tribe.
They were celebrating her betrothal.
She saw the smiles on everyone's face.
They were truly happy for her.
As her look wound around the circle, her eyes finally rested on George. He was staring at the fire. She saw how the flames reflected off his
face, making him look more handsome then he actually was.
I am so
lucky to have him, Alanna thought as she looked at her fiancée. George slowly turned his head towards Alanna,
feeling her intense gaze on him. He
smiled that mischievous smile at her, and she could feel herself blush.
Celebration
continued late into the night.

That night,
as she and George lay in bed, she thought about how far she had come from when
she was just starting as a page.

Alanna
snuggled closer to George, and he wrapped his arm around her. She finally fell asleep, unknowing that she
had a smile on her face the entire time…
