Love's Memories

For a moment time stood still. Arirya felt as if she was tumbling in a swirl of confusion as the doctor spoke the words I'm Sorry. He stood there before her as she closed her eyes to the present and connected with the past.

They say time can heal all wounds but sometimes the ticking is so loud you truly believe it is standing still. The sand on the beach was warm from the sun's ray; Arirya loved to walk on the edge of the water in the early morning, it gave her a chance to be close to heaven. She made her way up the cove when she stopped; there he stood on the pier watching the seagulls in flight. She couldn't help herself, she was mesmerized by his height and the tanned skin he so proudly displayed. She had walked this path every morning. Now she felt that fate had other plans for her, something in the way he turned and smiled at her. It was his magnetic pull that captured her, and she could feel the change inside herself; swirls of blue light danced in the sun as she continued to walk nearer to him.

"Hello there,"

He had softness to his voice when he spoke; Arirya found herself shyly answering him, then looking away.

"Do you come up to the cove much?"

She cursed herself for being so darn shy, she was never shy! She smiled.

"Yes I do."

She went back to the seagulls in flight, he stood looking at her, but he did not keep her floundering in that pool of awkwardness.

"I love it here!"

He said it with such passion that she stepped back, almost as if there was a fire wall between them. She also loved it here. In fact it was her favorite place to be, and now she was sharing it today with this beautiful stranger. Arirya walked to the edge of the pier, only to have him follow behind her. She could feel the electric vibes, and she knew very well he could feel it too.

"Do you have a name?" he asked.

She stood looking out over the water. She loved the way the early morning sun danced on the water; she could see their reflections perfectly on the surface.

"Arirya Costas, and you, do you have a name?"

Just the excitement of knowing his name sent shivers down her spine; he winked at her as if he knew what she was feeling.

"Jared Michaels, I came to the cove to finish a story I have been working on, what brings you here?"

A light touch on her shoulder brought her plummeting forward through that tunnel of darkness, leaving her quite dizzy in the process.

"The nurse will come out to see you shortly, I'm sorry about your husband."
