    moonlight kisses the water with its pale glow and lights Jamie’s face as he turns to look at me. His smile falters as he catches the tears on my face, gently stepping forward to sweep them from my skin. The moment stretches on forever, and I feel safe in this other world. Safe enough that when he sits on the sand and pulls me into his lap, I let him. Safe enough that I relish in the familiar feeling of settling myself into the crook of his neck.
