“Winding her arms close around his neck, she closed her eyes. To be embraced, safe in a man's arms when she had never expected it to happen again, this would be enough.Time sheltered their embrace, enfolding them within a summer scented capsule that felt endless and theirs alone. The fragrance of grass and sunlight and nearby water sweetened each breath. Theirs was the music of birds ans the lazy buzz of insects and the beating of two hearts. Yes, she thought, she didn't need more. This would be enough.” MenNeedsHeartTwoEnoughHappensWould BeEyeFeltWaterArmsSafeSummerBirdBreathsEmbraceExpectedEndlessGrassNecksLazySunlightHer EyesInsectsFragranceEnough TimeBuzzTwo Hearts Author:Maggie Osborne
