Improv Writing: That Summer

This is another Heron scene, but it's completely different from the last on I wrote. This one is based on some song lyrics I came up with today.

I remember that summer
Watching her smiling in the sun
I remember that summer
Talking, laughing, having fun


I smiled as I remembered that summer, one of the best I'd ever had. My band had been on tour for months, and it had just ended a week before. I couldn't even recall where we were exactly. It didn't matter though, as long as I was with her. It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining and there was a slight breeze. We decided to have a picnic, just the two of us.

Her hair flowed over her shoulders like a golden waterfall. It was longer than usual, almost down to her waist, but it was beautiful as always. I had an irresistable urge to run my fingers through the silky blonde strands, and so I did. She smiled contentedly and closed her deep blue eyes. In the warm sunlight her face seemed to glow.

"What did I ever do to deserve something as divine as you?" I wondered aloud.

"Well, there was that time you saved the world." she replied. "And that time you saved the Goldens. And then you saved the world again. That might have something to do with it."

"No, probably not." I said, playing along. "Maybe it was because I kissed that absolutely gorgeous girl."

Her eyes snapped open and she turned to glare at me. "What? When was this?"

"Right now." I whispered, quickly kissing her soft lips. She laughed and pulled me closer. I kissed her again, delighting in her tender smile.

"I love you," I told her. "More than anything."

"I love you too."
