Reach!ng

They laid on the blanket in silence, listening to the waves crash against the shore. She turned to him and saw the sadness in his eyes. “What’s wrong?” she asked. He sighed and told her about his past, and how he had never been able to find a place where he belonged. She reached out and took his hand. “You belong with me,” she said. He smiled and kissed her. He trembled and she noticed, but she said nothing of the fact. They spent the rest of the night talking and laughing, and by the time the sun came up, they both knew that they had found something special.

In the morning, he woke up and found her gone. He got up and searched the beach, but she was nowhere to be found. With every beat, the sound of his heart grew louder. He sat down on the blanket and looked out at the ocean, wondering if he would ever see her again. Just then, he saw a figure in the distance. It was her! She was standing on a rock, looking out at the sea. She thought of her freedom and what that meant to her. She was strong now, stronger than she had ever been, and the cool ocean air affirmed her. He ran towards her, and she turned to face him. He reached out and took her hand, and they walked back together.
