A Beautiful Beginning


There they were. Alongside the river’s edge with the starry night above, glistening, reflected in the water below them. This is the perfect moment. She handed him the sheet of paper and pen, and told him to write down his deepest most honest wish out of life. She decided to let him write it down first, just so the universe would get a head start on his wish. As he was writing fervently, she took two candles from her knapsack and lit them in their tiny holders. She held one out for him to take in his palm, and as he did, she placed hers on the pavement, taking out a slip of paper and pen for herself. The light from the flame shone a beautiful glow on her face as she began writing, and he fell in love with her all over again. As she dipped to the water’s edge to place her wish along the water’s surface, he did the same. They held each other close as their wishes sailed away into the blissful night. “What did you write?” he asked with a hint of sarcasm, for he knew she would never tell him. She just looked deep into his eyes and gave him a long, passionate kiss. As they walked slowly away from the river, she held his hand tightly hoping her wish would come true: I wish that his wish comes true.
