With one leap, ocean blue sparked color into life. Ocean blue meeting green grass, and suddenly, there are two people standing face to face, with hearts left wide open, ready to become closer, ready to test fate and grow together. It's as if color has been pulled back into steady focus, as if the green leaves above their heads are greener, are brighter, are fuller, as if the ground they walk on is steadier and stronger, strong enough to hold two people up together.

With one glance, a new beginning is cast, a new beginning is given the chance and the grace to grow into something more, though no one said it would be easy, if they did they were lying. Right now, it's too soon for older brother's schemes and distrust, too soon for a Marquis to decide that the future isn't for the two of them to walk side by side, and far too soon for challenges heaped upon two steady shoulders.

Right now, it's a new beginning, a chance to meet someone new, and let the stones fall where they may, as color dances brighter than it ever has, as two people give a new meeting a chance to really bloom.

And one day, maybe one day, this first meeting will be remembered with the smooth fondness of a treasured memory. Maybe one day, this will be the very moment that they tell their kids about, that they revel in, because in a moment, it is innocent and new, not tried nor tested, but just given the chance to shine.
