Happily Ever For Now
She knew he wasn’t good for her. Well, no, she just knew that in the end her heart would be irreparably broken. She knew without question that he loved her now simply because he couldn't have her. She also knew that as time went by his old ways would come back to the surface no matter how hard she tried or what she did.

Serendipity
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. In fact, she could vividly remember a time when there were not dragons in the valley. She remembered running through the bright, colorful valley, full of wildflowers. She could still smell the flowers, the breeze blowing them through the air and taking her breath away. She could still feel the way her curly hair bounced off her neck as she ran. She could feel herself twirling, her dress swirling around her legs, hitting flower after flower, until she fell to the ground, laughing. Through it all, he would just watch her, following slowly to make sure she was safe. As she lay in the tall grass and wildflowers, he would slowly come into view. His luscious dirty blonde hair, followed by his light blue eyes, his neck, then his manly shoulders and the arms that wrapped around her so tightly and perfectly. The look on his face, always one of sincere amusement and happiness while he watched her antics. Only someone who truly loves you can find pure joy in your joy. At least, she thought so, at the time. Now she had no idea what she believed. All her life she spent hoping for true love, a real honest partner. She believed with every fiber of her being that he was it. Perhaps everyone had been right when they told her love wasn’t the way she thought of it. It wasn’t sparks and romance and excitement. It was calm, predictable and safe. What if she just wanted all those things combined? What if she believed she had it all, only for it to fall away from her and prove everyone else right? What if the dragons coming and taking over their valley, was a sign that the life she dreamed of was just that… a dream?
