Day 4: Fireflies in the night

Her fingers are wound with those of the woman she loves as she lets herself be pulled through the trees, and despite the darkness, despite the branches threatening to smack her in the face as they push through and speed past them, she lets out a laugh of unbridled joy at the spontaneity of it all.

They stop in a clearing pierced by a shaft of moonlight, with tiny gold dots and the faint hum from swarms of fireflies flitting between trees around the edge, and she is taken back to the fairy groves she read about as a child. But even a place with this much beauty, that can cause this much wonder and delight, cannot surpass the feeling of her lover's kiss and when their lips meet, the rest of the world disappears.

Oh, hey, I made it! This week is flying past, but I can now say I at least got one in! Will try for a couple more before the week's out!

I love the vivid descriptions when the two get to the clearing.

Thank you! It was fun trying to get as much of the image in my head into one sentence!
