"I agree," Winter nodded. "I'll dress in shorts too." He smiled and stood up. "Well I'm getting kind of tired so I think I'll head to bed. Of course Alfie will be invited."

[Jazzyleia]

Jasmine nodded. "Okay. You get some sleep. Ill clean up the dishes and come to bed later. Tomorrow I guess you have the most work to do."

[stormy tom]

Winter nodded gratefully and slipped down the hall to the bedroom. He crawled into bed and crashed face down on the pillow, instantly out. He lay there, sprawled out, mouth hanging open and his wild hair splaying out everywhere. His sleep was deep and pleasant.

[Jazzyleia]

Jasmine shook her head as she watched Winter leave. He was always tired it seemed, faster than she was. Standing up, Jasmine grabbed the dishes and cleaned them in the sink. Putting them away, she looked outside. The moon was up and shinning on the water. Smiling, she walked outside and sat so the waves lapped at her ankles. It was so peaceful here.

In Winter's dreams he was playing with his children, two of them, on the beaches. They splashed happily in the waves and played with fish, laughing.
Suddenly a light shone and everything stopped. He turned his head to see Jasmine step down the beach, glowing. Sinking to his knees, Winter could not support himself in her presence. His eyes could not behold her yet he could not turn them away.
He was getting married to a beautiful woman.

[Jazzyleia]

Jasmine didnt remember falling asleep on the beach but she did. In her dreams, her and Winter sat while they watched two children running in the water. Their children, one boy and one girl, only a couple years apart. She smiled as she watched them playing. They were both so lucky to have a normal family, unlike her and Winter who both experienced loss. But she shrugged it off, they would have the best life ever.

Winter woke up feeling groggy. He closed his mouth and wiped spit from his face. Yuck.
Rubbing his eyes, he sat up. His arms felt shaky as he pushed up from the bed and his neck and shoulders were stiff from sleeping in such a position. He felt happy, albeit sore, but still inexplicably happy. Phone calls. Yes. Phone calls.
Jasmine.
Where was she? He stood up and stretched, walking outside to find her asleep on the beach. Mooneyes watched from the shade of the palm trees, making sure she was alright. Winter strolled down the sand and collapsed beside her, still in his shorts and bare chested. He rolled onto his stomach and dipped his toes in the water as the sun came up and watched her face. Her blonde hair swirled around her.
She was beautiful.
Winter lifted his hand and traced her face gently with one hand, his fingers brushing her warm skin.

[Jazzyleia]

Jasmine sat up quickly and looked around startled. Her gaze landed on Winter and she instantly relaxed. "Sorry, I must have fallen asleep out here last night. I was just watching the moon on the water and then I had this amazing dream. I saw these two children playing on the beach, exact copies of us but younger. They were so happy here."

[stormy tom]

"As are we," Winter replied and rolled over onto his back, rolling his stiff shoulders. "I had a similar dream and fell asleep on my face." He laughed. "It's great to be care-free, to wake up only to a stiff neck and shoulders and not a knife or a bullet lodged somewhere inside you. How are you this morning?" He turned his head to look at her.

[Jazzyleia]

"Amazing. I feel amazing. But dont you have some things to do today? And I should go into town and look around, you know, at dresses." Jasmine shrugged like it was no big deal. Of course she would wait to decided on the final one for when the other girls got here. She valued their opinions.
