She seems to relax when we’re riding, so much so that she tortured me with those hands of hers. Not that I’m complaining. Reluctantly, we climb off the quad and remove our helmets. Bright and Nicole are already at the edge taking in the view. “Kens, you’re missing out,” Nicole yells over her shoulder. Kensington reaches for my hand; her face is lit up with a smile as she drags me to the edge.I take in her beauty while as she takes in our surroundings. In this moment, there are no shadows that follow her. She’s blissfully happy. Powerful affection grips my heart in the realization I did that for her. I brought her here, to peace.“It’s beautiful,” she breathes“I couldn’t agree more,” I reply. Although, I’m not looking at the scenery; I’m only looking at her.She turns to face me and I can see in her eyes she knows I’m talking about her.A gust of wind passes through and she shivers. I don’t hesitate. I step in behind her and wrap her in my arms. Her body relaxes against mine, and the peace I saw in her just minutes before washes through me.The four of us remain quiet on top of the mountain, looking out over the horizon.
