The New Beginning

The Fantasy

They go there often, their favorite little inn. The candles are low, the mood is romantic, the air is smoky, the music. . .blue. They toast to love, they toast to life, they toast to today. . .that it be as wonderful as yesterday and even better tomorrow. All eyes are on them as he holds her on the dance floor in an affectionate embrace. Her eyes twinkle as Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" plays softly on the jukebox. She nestles her warm cheek against his neck and kisses him with subtle passion. Her heart beats slowly in time with his and they sway rhythmically to "their song." She whispers gently into his ear, squeezes his hand. They finish their dance, finish their drinks, and begin the night--as lovers.
