He watched a small silhouette climb to the top of a grassy knoll. The brilliant sunset coming from the west accentuated her small figure.
"Amanda," he breathed. He dismounted his horse watching her every move. He stepped one foot in front of the other moving his body towards his one true love.
Amanda clutched her shall tighter as a wind propelled itself past her. Her green work dress was whipped around as she stood on the knoll, watching the magnificent colors.
Joshua came closer to Amanda. He looked her over, taking in everything he could. In the orange sunrays, her dark brown hair was almost red; her tanned skin a yellow color, her beauty glorious. He heard her breathe. "It's wonderful," she sighed. "I wish I could stay in this moment forever. What do you think, Joshua?" He came up next to her, placing his hand on her back. She blinked away the tears that smoldered behind her eyes.
"It's majestic," he replied. "Even more so, are you." She turned to him, the sun illuminating her bright green eyes.
"So, you're leaving tomorrow. Will you write to me?"
"Every chance I get!" he said in vehemence. "Amanda, there's something I must ask you." He faced her getting down on his knees. Her eyes widened with an enthusiasm to know what he would ask of her.
"Joshua"
"Amanda, will you wait for me?" he clutched her hands. "I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow. I may die! But I want to know I have you to come home to."
"Joshua, of course. I'll wait forever until the ocean doesn't reach the sand!" He stood in front of her, looking into her blazing green eyes. He caressed the soft skin of her cheek, lightly touching her lips with a kiss.
"I'm sorry, I haven't a ring for your finger."
"I don't care! Just hold me." He held her close, the two watching the fiery inferno plunge behind the horizon.
