Three years ago, Madison Reynolds's truest and only love, Reece Stiles, left her to join the Marines. Proud but hopelessly lonely, Madison gets through life but no longer sees the beauty and joy without the love of her life beside her. Then, after three years of bland colorless life, bright beautiful colors are splashed onto life's canvas again when Madison goes down to the local soup kitchen called Your Momma's Soup. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple wish upon a star that takes dreams and hopes up into the heavens and makes them come true. .*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. I slung my bag onto the floor and sighed heavily as I put in my hair net and apron. Doing this was tiring but it helped give me a purpose. I was looking down at the bowl of soup I was scooping when I heard the scuttle of feet stop in front of me. I looked up and found myself looking into familiar honey colored eyes. Then for the first time in three years, my heart started to beat again.

"Do you have to leave?" I say through tears. "I promise I'll be home before you know it." That's a lie. It'll feel longer than what it actually is. And it will all feel like hell. "I'll be lost and...and...alone without you, Matt" I sob even harder. "Don't say that. You'll have Aunt Kathy and Jo. Trust me when I say this: they know exactly what they're doing. They've been through plenty of these before." I nod, not trusting my voice, afraid I'll break down again. His hand comes to my cheek as he wipes a tear that's falling. His arms then indulge me in a huge hug, his familiar cologne invading my nostrils. "STARKS! We're boarding!" I flinch at the fact that its time to let him go. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you." He whispers in my ear. "I love you too." I respond weakly. "I love you most." And with a final, hard kiss, he walks away from me. Kathy holds me and lets me cry on her shoulder as Matt looks back at me, and walks into the plane. ~~~ **This is an original story by @QuackingDuck.
