She fought the urge to grasp his hand and run. Hand in hand they would float under the blue sky, over the soft undergrowth, though the sprace tall trees. Blue and gold eyes would glance at each other with grins and minds would imagine all the things that they would encounter and uncover. She did not allow it, for she knew how silly it would be. But Anu looked at his face, and she smiled. Her feet seemed to glide above the ground and the Sun hung above as if it watched then and blessed their childish games. And her mind wandered and she thought of all that might happen while they explored. Those things she did allow.
He sought her out, just as she had him those months ago. Had it been that long? It shouldn’t have been. He came to her and spoke of a new adventure, and Anu gave no hesitation, only enthusiasm. The beach, the sea awaited. Eyes the color of sky and water saw but did not see the forest they walked through. Hemming lead the way and Anu saw only what might stand ahead in the mysterious place they were traveling too. She grinned, her energy pure and hardly restrained. She would have run, playing a game of chase to make the trip pass more quickly but how far they had to go was unknown. Instead she walked beside her dear friend, a small skip in her step and the smile never fading.
