The tranquility of being in Jeremiah's arms washed over her soul.  Never before, had Marti experienced such peace, such contentment, such a feeling of pure and utter happiness.  The sexually charged feelings of only a few moments ago had changed to feelings of a love so pure, so perfect, that she could hardly believe it had happened so quickly, if she had not felt the pull of it herself.  His kiss, so tender, his words, so gentle, soothed her soul, and calmed her senses.<br/><br/>"I am thankful to the power that brought us to this place, together, Jeremiah.  More thankful, than you will likely ever know."  She looked into his eyes, the windows to the soul.  She saw love there, and her heart skipped a beat, as he asked her if he believed in love at first sight.  "I do now, Jeremiah," she whispered solemnly.  People would think them crazy, to have found the kind of love that takes a lifetime to build, in the space of only a few short hours.  Marti had heard the term "soul mate" before, and never really knew the meaning of that, until this very moment, as she stood here, in this tropical paradise.  Nothing Marti had ever experienced before could compare with the feelings in her heart, at this very moment.<br/><br/>She reached up, and framed his face with her hands, and brought his face to look at hers.  She let her eyes, take in every inch of his face, capturing it and this moment for her heart to recall in years to come.  Shyly, she stroked his cheek, and she planted tiny little kisses all over his handsome face, whispering his name, her voice filled with all the love in her heart, between kisses.<br/><br/>"Jeremiah," she whispered, "you feel it too.  Don't you?"<br/><br/>
