Leilani.
I cannot remember the last time I was this happy. It felt like a very long time ago since I smiled so much, and for some reason, it felt strange.
It felt strange that I could feel the sun on my skin— warm and enveloping, but I didn't have a care in the world, not even about sunscreens. I could feel the wind in my hair, on my face and it was more heavenly than anything I have felt in a very long time.
My hair floated around me as I walked barefooted in the sand towards a small shed where I could see Zevran and Caelum arguing about something. Kael, on the other hand, walked closely behind me like a mini bodyguard, his warmth and presence filling my head like some heady perfume from the Middle East.
And goddess, he was still wearing only those boxer briefs!
