"She's beautiful" I heard Erica cry.

I wasn't sure if it was a good or bad thing to hear her cry, but I'll take it in as good. Pure joy filled the room, along with giggles from Erica and yaps from Delilah. I watched from afar, admiring the fact that Erica has melted over a dog she had just met.

The grass was empty, along with the sidewalks around the building and the quadrangle. The forest was untouched, and birds were freely roaming and singing their morning songs. The dew in the air was illuminated by the sun, creating a beautiful golden haze.

I looked over to Erica. She was smiling like a 5 year old was just granted a lifetime supply of candy. I looked down to Delilah, who was rolling in the grass. I smiled. This was perfect
