The sun was rising from the mountains. Amelie could see it, she could feel it. Its warmth was spreading throughout her body. The heat tingled her bare skin. The rays from it brought out the light blue colour of her eyes. Such beauty, she loved it.

Amelie twirled the single white rose around her finger. It was the start of a brand new day. Usually, she liked starting a new day. But today was an exception. She could feel in her bones that it was going to be a bad day, as she slowly swung herself on her porch swing. It was somehow unexplainable.

She closed her eyes, inhaling the smell of sweet spring flowers. Suddenly, she felt someone’s hand touch hers. She turned to face Shawn. His fringe was falling over his eyes, oh she loved how he looked when his fringe fell over his eyes. He leaned in towards her and whispered two single words, “I’m sorry.”

Amelie was silent. She did not know what to say. Her heart was numb.
