The Beginning

"This is the beginning, isn't it?" She asks, hair rising up every now and then ever so gently, gazing out at the sea, her arms wrapped around her legs. Her eyes were glimmering from the sun, it's golden rays shining alone with that sparkle in her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, so close to curiosity.

"Yeah, it is..." I say, my voice low as I lower my head onto my knees. My legs were surrounded my cold, my insides warm and fuzzy, the long sleeves draping over my legs.

"How could you tell what I meant?" She asks, her mouth now up in a small questioning smile.

"Because never in my life did I think I would be able to see you smile like that again." I reply with a glad smile, watching her smile back.

"I'm glad I can. And now I know I will a lot more." She lets out a light laugh, smiling happily, truly believing her words whole-heartedly.

This is what the title entails: A beginning. One of a new book while a more reasonable plot.

I hope this will be somewhat of a reasonable paynent as to making you all wait for so long.
