April began with a cloudy day, but Taylor, after having spent days crying and drowning in her own sadness because of the brunette's absence, was extremely happy. She was over the moon with joy, and her state of bliss could only be attributed to Karlie. They were more careful than before, kissed only behind closed doors, but still saw each other regularly. Their love was stronger, their bond now indissoluble, and they were happy. Living at the boarding school was more bearable, although the future was still something they didn't like to think about. It was unavoidable, sooner or later they had to part ways, but Karlie had assured Taylor that she would always find a way to write a letter to her. Just because they weren't going to be physically together, it didn't mean that their relationship was going to finish with their separation. Still, what would happen next was always going to be a difficult topic for them, and whenever they talked about it, it would usually lead to desperate kisses, arms clinging to the other's body, and racing thoughts running within worried minds.

However, today was a good day.

For the first time in her entire life, Taylor was going to see the beach. The school had decided that, for the April outing, they would move a little more and visit a place that probably none of the students had ever seen. The blonde was ecstatic, to say the least. Karlie was fortunately a part of her group, so this was a chance to live a beautiful moment together.

This morning, Taylor had woken up with a huge grin splitting her face, and had gone to class feeling grateful for existing. She had seen Karlie at the dining hall, and there they had had lunch together, sitting side by side while laughing about everything and nothing. Now, Taylor finished writing something inside her journal, and the last words she wrote before someone knocked at her door were simple yet unusual; I think life is going to be okay.

"Taylor? We have to go,"

It was Karlie, sweet and charming Karlie, who smiled at her as soon as Taylor's body was near hers. The brunette unexpectedly pushed her inside the room for a moment, closing the door behind them before cupping the blonde's face and kissing her. Taylor giggled against her lips, pulling away from their kiss just to hug the taller girl close to her body.

"Are you excited for this outing?"

Taylor nodded against her shoulder. "Yes. I've never seen the beach."

"It's going to be amazing,"

Karlie squeezed her hands, before letting them go and exiting Taylor's bedroom. They joined the other ten students, who were excitedly mingling together. On their way to the beach, Karlie stayed by Taylor's side while the blonde chatted with other girls. With the brunette by her side, Taylor felt confident. The words didn't get stuck in her throat, her mouth wasn't dry, and her hands didn't fidget. Karlie rendered her someone with a bubbly personality, someone who was easy to talk to, and the blonde felt like a different person. She almost didn't recognize the person she was months and months prior, and perhaps sister Catherine had noticed it too, because a small smile was on her face for the whole trip.

They reached the beach an hour before sunset, and the colors of the sky fascinated Taylor, who looked up with parted lips and sparkling blue eyes. The other sisters that were with them suggested they take off their shoes, and Taylor almost let out a scream of pure happiness when her bare feet touched the grainy texture of the sand. She sank her toes beneath the sand, smiling broadly as the tickling feeling made her jump up and down. The nuns told them that they had the freedom to walk around, but not to distance themselves too much. Taylor watched the other girls as they neared the shoreline, a laugh escaping their lips as their feet touched cold water for the first time. The blonde felt fingers gently grab hers, and when she turned around, she was not surprised to be face to face with the most beautiful, entrancing smile she had ever seen.
