“…She was stunning. Always had been. My avoidance of her had been so complete that it felt like I was seeing her again for the first time. Maybe it was the passing of the last year or the harshness of the last few days, but the vision of her standing before me was almost more than my soul could take. I was frozen as I took in the dream staring at my resting place.

Her blonde waves of hair rested on her shoulders, trickling past the soft nape of her neck to dance on her delicate back. The evening breeze coerced strands to break away and tickle her nose and play with the thick black eyelashes framing her brilliant green eyes. And the way she would brush the menacing strands and tuck them behind her ears and their silver hoop earrings. The sexy slope of her gentle nose led to perfectly kissable lips. Those lips. I often struggled to describe the sensation of pressing my lips to hers for the first time. It was like kissing butter. Soft. Warm.

. . .She stepped to the edge of the dirt. I could see the engagement ring I gave her on her finger as she tucked another length of hair behind her ear. I was practically pleading for her to say something. How badly I wanted to hear her voice. I could recall the smallest details about her, but her voice was lost to me. But she stood in frustrating silence. She lowered her head as she wiped her eyes with the back of her finger. My heart was tearing. She said nothing.”
