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.
