I don’t know why this was the moment. I don’t know why none of the others that came before would do. Maybe because I hadn’t shown her our cabin yet? Or because I simply wanted us to be here, where it had all started and I’d fallen irrevocably in love with her.
Scarlet was still the color of my soul. But now that we were finally together, she also painted my days and nights in the exquisite spectrum and uncontainable brilliance of her spirit.
