Ambrosia silently pulled her knees to her chest, hoping to become invisible." "As his golden brown hair blew in the wind, Rose noticed the picture perfect scene laid out before her. Behind him, a blend of merigold, rose, lilac, and lapis lazuli lit up the evening sky. His body bathed in a golden hue.
