Prologue : Eyes of the Beholder

It s a beautiful thing. Have you ever noticed that just before moments of sheer disaster and danger something amazing precedes it? I know it does. It happens to me more frequently than I care to remember.

The soft whisper of satin that moves ever so slowly up and down. That beautiful auburn red hair that always seems to find its mark out of place laying like spun silk across creamy features. As I hear the faint sigh and moan that comes from her slightly parted lips I realize time and time again, she deserves better than this life. I stare at her tiny hands and wish that I could hold onto her forever. I realize I am so lucky. She s beautiful. Beautiful is too little a word to describe her, her soul filled with kindness draws me in like a moth to a flame. I m trying to focus, on something else, anything else, like what I am supposed to be doing, but I can t take my eyes off her. No wonder I never saw it coming.
