prologue ;
he runs his fingers through his hair as if the wind doing so isn't enough. the sun sets, being sure to let each grain of sand and each wave of the water get a glimpse of light before it leaves for the night. i pull my arms in close as the temperature falls slowly.
shuffling beside me, he rests his sweater on my shoulders and sits closer. he sighs lightly and rests his hands on the sand, his pinky nearly grazing mine.
i hold my breath.
his skin feels cold from the water we'd splashed each other with hours ago. i glance over at him and he looks happily at the sunset. he shifts his eyes to mine, smiling, and pretends i hadn't been looking his way dozens of moments during the day.
he looks away and to the waves crashing a few steps away, his pinky slipping over mine. slowly and carefully, he lets his hand creep over mine.
my heart skips beat after beat.
i can't look at him. i'm glad he doesn't move until he turns to face me. i try to stay still, but he hums my name softly. for some reason, i'm afraid; not of what he'll say or do, but what will happen if he says or does something. i look over.
he says nothing but draws closer. his eyes get bigger and his lips are only a breath away. my eyes slip shut and expect his lips and mine to collide with a million bees to nip at my skin and a thousand butterflies to soar wildly, but nothing touches me. the bees don't nip and the butterflies don't soar. i open my eyes and see nothing but the ocean waves, the sand painting my skin, and the sun rising.
he's gone.
