There's a piece of double pendant jewelry in a bed of more roses. As I carefully take the pendant out of the box, the stones glint brightly at me. There is an amethyst at the top and a peridot at the bottom.
I pull out the card with a painting of the sun and 'My Sunshine' written on the front. Turning it, I read the message behind it.
No words or stones can express what you mean to me,
But with this little token, I hope that you can begin to see,
That in your arms alone is where I long to be.
So I would be grateful if you give me the chance,
to be your date for the Full Moon Dance.

My vision blurs, and I brush at the corners of my eyes with my knuckles.
"Kai?" I reach out again, and this time I get a tentative
"Storm."
I love you. I love you so much that the feelings are overwhelming me and threatening to spill out of my mouth.
