on day 7, exactly halfway through
the trip, he woke aly up early, shaking
her small body from sleep.
"let's go watch the sun rise."
she sleepily rubbed the sleep from her
eyes, following behind him as he
pulled her into the dining area, where
the largest window was.
together, they sat side by side,
his arm around her shoulders.
he watched the orange glow
skim across her face, and it made
him smile because he'd come to
realize that even the strangest
shade of a color looked beautiful
on her.
