Brittanna County, The Island of Bridgeport

A flash of white light encompasses the dark starry sky as the split second click overtakes the crackle of the fire before me and the fast rubbing of his hands against each other for frictional warmth. The Polaroid prints on the thick white paper and I lower the small lens from my face as Joseph turns his head to me.

"What was that for?" Joseph asks with a hint of surprise mingled mostly with his exhaustion.

My boyfriend had just spent an entire eighteen hours working in his brother's mechanic shop, nonstop until I had come to steal him away for a small break.

There was still a small smudge of oil on his cheek as he sits in the sand with his legs pulled to his chest, staring into the small bonfire with a hopeless look in his beautiful light green eyes.

"I just thought you were so picturesquely beautiful that this moment needed to be frozen in time and preserved forever on a small piece of paper," I explain, taking up the small photo in my hand as I walk back to him.

His head gently rest on his knees as he watches my every move.

"Aish, Peter you're so weird," he grumbles as he closes his eyes.

I plop down next to him on the soft sand before grabbing his shoulders and forcing him to come closer. But instead, he just falls sideways and smacks onto my lap.
