Penses A Toi
(Thinking of You)
Had it been a dream? The weight on his right shoulder when he tried to turn over onto his side told him no. He turned to gaze upon her.
She lay next to him. She was beautiful, even in darkness. Her pale skin contrasted with the interior of the unlit room.
Her head rested on his shoulder. As he watched she shifted from her back to her side. She now faced him with her lekku splayed gracefully on the pillow behind her. Yes, she was beautiful, very beautiful.
And he was lucky, very lucky. He didn't know how anyone could be so lucky. She had said yes! Yes. Yes, she would marry him. Yes, she would spend the rest of her life with him. Yes. Yes, he was very lucky.
