“Essie, I know it made you angry that time when I told you how lucky you were…for everything.Yet sometimes I can’t help but believe it.You seem to be this angelic, graceful creature who knows where she’s going. In spite of the fact that your life may not be perfect,I still hope that someday,I might be able to get a little piece of happiness.A little piece of your life,” Casimir mused.I smiled, my face glowing with radience. “Since you’ve let me into your life and been my friend, I’ll let you into mine. I promise,” I declared earnestly. Casimir looked contented too. “From the way you speak of him,your father sounds amazing, in a way that’s different.Different than others. But from knowing you, I reckon that different can be a beautiful thing,” he murmured,his words soft,smooth, and sincere. Once again,I was wistful, euphoric, emotional, and poignant all at the same time.Dreams of hope and life’s potential floated and resided all around me.In my mind,in my heart,in my dreams; and in those whom I loved dearly.
