A feeling of tranquil peace had rested upon his soul as they stood at the ending of the bay. Far away from the small crowd of people that seemed to be enjoying the beauty of the island in their own way, just as he and Marti were in theirs.  The frantic thoughts of sexual need had subdued in the vastness of the scene, and as she wrapped her arms around him with thanks he looked into her eyes and gently returned the embrace with a smile.  “The thanks belong to the power that brought us together Marti, not just me or even you.”<br/><br/>There was fire in the connected gaze, yet the heat brought about a bond of love not the greed of satisfactions desired he had felt before.  He leaned to her and kissed her on the cheek tenderly, for that is what his spirit called him to do. “Marti, I know this is probably not a question you’ll know the answer to, as there isn’t a right answer; but I am curious.  Can you …. Do you…I cannot believe I am saying this since we’ve only known each other for a few hours, but ….   Do you believe in love at first sight?”  He blushed slightly as the words crossed his lips, uncertain if the thought of love was too overpowering, too needy somehow, but this woman had touched his heart and he was indeed falling in love.<br/><br/>His gaze turned again to the mighty Pacific Ocean and watched the never ending motion of the sea as he waited to see if he had scared her off, or brought about a tighter bond in the budding relationship.<br/>
