Evelyn, Part 2

Chapter 26: Evelyn, Part 2

The colors I saw started to take shape. Red turned into a ball hanging at the edge of the world, where it spread into hundreds of different shades of reds and oranges across the sky, and bled their reflections down the watery deep it melted into. I felt a cold spray of water splash against my cheek, the same wind splashing that water made my hair whip and slap against my thighs. The sunset was beautiful, the wild water seemed to enjoy fighting against the rocks nearby but lazily slept out at sea. I could see it all from where I sat on the grass with my father. The weary warrior with vigor still in his eyes gazed at me and took my arm in his.

“My Ailis, you've grown to be a strong and wonderful woman. You will always have my love,” he said with a smile. I smiled back and leaned in to hug him. The waves splashed against the rocks again.
