The sun was setting against the mountains. Even though it was setting, it was still bright. The sunlight traveled through the wheat in the field and made it glow. Birds danced through the air and sang songs of joy. I giggled and followed them. Their wings were vibrant blues and greens. When the sun would reflect off them just right, a silver accent would gleam through their feathers. I copied their song and threw my hands in the air. My sandals hung from my fingers but I didn't care. I span in circles and let my curled hair flow in the air. My white lace dress spread out as I twirled. My laugh sounded through the crisp air. After a moment, a voice broke threw my laugh.
"Even after all these months, your beauty still amazes me."
I stopped spinning and my dress fell back down and brushed my knees. Even after all these months I'd never forget that voice. I slowly turned around and I faced him. He was dressed in a white button up shirt and tan pants. His name escaped my lips. He smiled at me. I dropped my sandals and ran to him. My body collided with his and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He picked me up and I let my legs wrap around his waist. His arms closed around me and I felt him laugh against my body.
"You're home." I whispered.
He planted a gentle kiss on my lips and let it bloom for a moment before pulling away. His forehead rested on mine.
"Yeah, baby, I'm home."
