Melody seemed content just being in his embrace. While it would be awkward to be like that forever, it was nice to have someone to hug. Just having someone around who "gets it" is truly an impeccable, priceless gift. She was just now being blessed with this with Dimitri coming to town. He waltzed in when she needed someone the most. She was in that dark place, and he was the light at the end of the tunnel. He gave her hope when she had none. She had a friend who saw her for who she really was, and still wanted to be her friend.<br/><br/>When Dimitri brought up that he liked the creature she was, she couldn't help but to blush. She knew he was teasing, but she felt embarrassed for some strange reason. It was moments like this that she wished she could have amazing comebacks, but alas, she did not. Then, he mentioned her hair, and it put a large smile on her face. She had gotten so many negative comments about dyeing her hair from others, but she chose to ignore them. It was his compliment that mattered the most. She liked it, and that was all that mattered. Him liking it just made it all the more sweet. He then suggested going to the beach. It made her nervous hearing that suggestion. While going to the beach wasn't the issue, it was the sea water that was. She would just have to be careful.<br/><br/>"Well, I do appreciate it since brown is a very dull color and washes me out," she replied honestly, "Red just makes me feel more free, and I feel like I can be myself when it's this color. Also, I've never been to the beach at night...I wonder if you can see the stars from there. I may or may not have to see about this." with that answer, she smiled as she looked at him. She was seriously going to the beach tonight. She hoped that everything worked out according to plan. She couldn't bear to have a mishap.
