She stands alone on the beach.  She sighs, “Its quiet here” mumbling to herself.  The breeze is blowing through her long golden hair and her flowing dress, giving her shivers down her spine. She wiggles her toes, feeling every grain of sand under her feet, making sure it’s real.  Looking at the spectacular moon reflecting on the water and the ripples from the breeze, she is calm.

 Sarah loves to be next to water, it started years ago when her grandmother used to take her every year to the sea side on day trips.  She spent a lot of time with her grandparents before they died and has deep felt regrets as are not around especially now, today.

This is a special evening for Sarah.  The attention of today is giving a great feeling of being overwhelmed.  “It’s nice to have a bit of quiet.” She says.  In the background, there is a faint sound of a jazz band playing, some muffled chatter and shadows on the beach of people gliding around the dance floor, it is faraway.

Now really thinking about today, it has gone by so quickly. She tries to grasp every detail, her minds gone blank.  “I am not really sure what happened today”.  She says in a quick, unsure spat.  “Did this really happen to me today?”  She says.  “Or did it happen to someone else?” Confused, fraught and on her own, she tries to calm herself down.  “Breath in, breath out, calm Sarah, let it go” She thought she was scaring herself for a moment, and what for?  Why did she have cause to be scared?

She is now reflecting on her weakness, being scared of the future.  The future had always been on Sarah’s mind.  When she was a child, she often questioned “Why are we here?”  She often wondered to, what part she played in the grand master plan of life.  This stopped her from wanting to settle down, she always moved around.  The sea always made her feel free.  Water is always flowing and she felt a lot like water.  Sarah was never alone, and never needed anyone.  Everywhere she went she made many friend and contacts, due to her bubbly, outgoing and caring personality

“There you are Sarah darling” cried a distant voice from behind her.  She turned her petite body around to look.  “I was looking for you everywhere.  What are you doing out here alone?”  “I am just looking at the water, you know how I love being next to the water dad.”  Her dad smiling widely, “Come on young lady, your husband is waiting for you.  It’s time for you both to cut the wedding cake.”
