An Adventure

Having showered the night before, they wake up the next morning under the stars. Laying peacefully and comfortably. Not in a tent. No. They slept all night in the bed of a truck on a thick sleeping pad and lots of plush warm blankets.

Hair, cool from peeking out under the covers, a chill runs down her spine. She snuggles up next to him, A soft kiss lands on the top of her blonde wispy braid. Without saying a word, they both know the other is in paradise. It is almost as if the silence speaks for itself.

Their energies in a dance with each other. Their souls sparkle in the starlight, swirling around, captivated by love. Love. That word alone, almost a weak description of reality. Her head on his shoulder, her arm on his chest. His hand clasps hers. Their fingers intertwine as the sun wakes the sky and flowers bloom from their dreams. This moment lasts forever as they drift in and out of slumber.

His tummy rumbles, she giggles. Getting out of the makeshift bunk with just a blanket wrapped around her, she puts water on to boil for his oatmeal. They have a big day ahead. A waterfall to find and hot spring to follow.

The first spoken words that morning, after checking the oats aren’t too hot…

“Here you go my love”

“Thank you baby”

An adventure begins.
