"What's your favorite color?"
She hesitated. Smiled softly. Glanced down at the ground.
red, the scraped knees he helped her wash and bandage, the watermelon juice dripping down her chin.
orange, the kitten they bought together, the elastics she used to hold her pigtails.
yellow, the sun reflecting off his hair, her favorite summer dress.
green, the soft grass on her bare feet, his eyes gazing into hers.
blue, the ocean waves crashing at her feet, the stools at their favorite ice cream shop.
purple, the sun setting in the distance, the lavender field he photographed her in.
pink, their lips meeting, cotton candy clouds above them.
She bit her lip as she met his eyes again.
"I love them all."
