YOU SMELL OF CINNAMON, DULCET CINNAMON. THE SWEETNESS TAKING OVER EVERY INCH OF YOUR BODY.

YOUR FACE LOOKED RADIANT OUT IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOON.

YOU MADE ME FEEL SOMNOLENT. MY EYES SLOWLY CLOSING, WANTING A DEEP SLEEP IN THIS SERENE PLACE.

THEN YOU STARTED SINGING A LITHE LULLABY. MY BODY SHOOK AS I FELL INTO YOUR ARMS. I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER. I NEEDED PRECIOUS MINUTES OF SLEEP.

HE LOOKED DOWN AT MY SLEEPING SELF AND MURMURED SOFTLY, "LET'S FREEZE IN THIS MOMENT, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, UNDER THE STARS, I PROMISE YOU MY HEART."
