A FEW WEEKS HAD GONE by and trial finally approached, leading the bright sunny morning to nothing but dread and ominous feelings. Amira spent the night with Carter not once leaving his side, afraid that if she left him, that once ominous feeling would trail behind her like a demon shadow waiting to attack her soul. Not that Carter minded the company. The best part of his days started and ended with her in his arms. The morning of November Nineteenth, Amira had awoken just in time to watch the sunrise and cover the horizon, the colors blending beautifully. The view from Carter's office-sized window was the front of the house and the—she hated to admit, beauty of the rich neighborhood. It was calm and peaceful.

Two things she needed on her mind today. She loved it. Whilst she stayed in his arms witnessing the day begin, she had wished to lay with him until the horizon was no longer there and therefore, all of her worries that led to this specific day would vanish into non-existing dust particles.

Only did she realize until Carter reached over and kissed her head whilst rubbing reassurance over her arm, that she woke him up by hugging him harder than intended. "I got you," He'd whisper hoarsely against the shell of her ear, the deepness of his morning voice and voice, in general, placed a shiver down her spine but gave her a sense of security and comfort that gave her the strength she needed to get up.

"More than ever today."

Now at 8 am, Amira stood across the room getting dressed to go be with her parents before 12. Her back faced Carter who had been sitting and waiting patiently on his bed watching and studying her. Although it wasn't the time, he couldn't help but feel trapped in a love gaze watching her get ready in the simplest of clothing. His eyes blinked dazedly and brightened, his pupils practically forming into heart shapes.

"I love you."

Amira chuckled softly and smiled. Fixing her ponytail, she turned to face him. Her arms fell flat at her wide round hips as she strode leisurely toward him. Carter stared at her and manspread his long legs allowing her to fit perfectly in between them. She bent her knee out of his thigh, her other inner making her straddle his left lap without sitting.

Carter hummed softly, intoxicated by her fresh-scented body, and looped his middle fingers in the belt loops of her jeans as she wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "I love you too," He grinned boyishly, never getting tired of hearing those three words leave her lips. "And I appreciate you being here for me. Even before all of this happened. I hated you since the beginning, yet you loved me through it."

He looked up at her and wrapped an arm around her entire middle, hugging her closer. "You could burn the earth wherever you walk and I'd still follow. That's how much I love you and I'll never stop. Everything meant nothing until the day you bumped into me in that hall. It was like...you nudged a switch I didn't know I had in me," He nuzzled his nose into her neck and placed a kiss there. "You smell good."

"Mm, too good actually. You're dangerous to be around."

Amira smiled shyly and leaned her chin on top of his fluffy hair. Her eyes shifted to the right at the open blinds where sunlight beamed through, giving her a pretty view of the blue sky and whitening clouds overlapping each other like a painting on a canvas in all its glory.
