Narcissism
Illusion
Lying in the shade of the jacaranda tree, he could feel her flutter around his thoughts, pretty as ever in her white summer dress. Sunlight filtering through her long hair, lighting him up blisssfully. She had always managed to set things right for him. He did not want to blink. She was his favourite illusion.

In that one moment everything changed. She always remembered his acceptance and he never forgot her reluctance.

She knew she had to find him, to free him and herself. In that moment she was ready to travel any distance.
