A contented sigh was heard escaping Marti.  She thought she'd be too excited to sleep, but all of a sudden, she wanted nothing more than to sleep in Jeremiah's arms.  This moment, was the beginning of the rest of their life together.<br/><br/>"Mmhmm" she murmured, and turned onto her right side, and curled up.  It was not a heartbeat later, that she felt his body spooned behind her, and his left arm, draped lazily across her body.  He pulled her close to him possessively.  She did not mind, for this was where she belonged.  She was his, from the first glance, the first moment.  Oh, neither of them knew it at the time, but the fates knew it, and the fates had worked hard, to bring these two lonely people together.<br/><br/>Her dreams were of Paradise, with Jeremiah.  The moonlit walks on the beach, holding hands, the warm water of the Pacific ocean, lapping at their bare feet.  Her dreams were of going to the hotel luau, and watching the show, holding hands.  Her dreams were of taking in all the touristy things, and enjoying the time they could spend together, but her dreams always ended just this way, coming back to their hotel room, and making love, and falling asleep in each others arms.<br/><br/>The dreams that followed, were dreams of introducing the other to friends and family members.  No one would believe their wonderful love story, but she didn't care, it was a love story that would last the ages, that would indeed, stand the test of time.
