Only this teverything looked different.

It was more greens than the gold that had been prominent on the night of the festival. And the sun was shining
beautifully over all the greens instead of the moonlight. Plus there were no people here at all just the three of us.
Greyson had a blanket in his hands that | had not been paying attention to know where he had gotten it from but
when we were situated under a shade he laid out the blanket and urged myself and Jessy to sit.
“Where are you going?” | asked when he turned around to leave.
“You'll see.” He said, throwing a wink my way.
| watched as he headed back in the direction of the gates and disappeared after it.
“Mommy look.” Jessy suddenly gasped by my side.
“It’s a butterfly babe. Think it would cto you if you hold out your hands?” | asked and Jessy nodded rapidly,
holding out both of her hands.

Thankfully the butterfly did settle within her hands but only for a few seconds before it was flying around again, |
didn’t want to deal with the sadness that would have chad that not happened.
Greyson was soon back with a large basket in his hands and when he started offloading it’s items onto the
basket | couldn't help but think when he had gotten all of these sorted out.
“When did you pack this?” | asked in surprise.
“While you were asleep.” He responded.
Tears stung at my eyes at the sweetness of the man beforebut before it could fall off my cheeks, Greyson
fingers was brushing it away.
“Hey, hey, | didn’t bring you here so you'd cry, | brought you here so you'll be happy. So if | see those tears best
believe we'll be going back home.” He threatened playfully and | couldn’t help but laugh at his tone.
He laughed along withand even Jessy began laughing, which made us laugh harder.
“Why are you laughing Jessy?” Greyson finally asked, but the little girl only looked at him in confusion before
turning tofor help.
“I think she just laughs along when two or more people are laughing so she isn’t left out, | don’t think she ever
really gets the joke.” | responded and when our eyes remained on Jessy’s frfor too long, she stuck her
tongue out at us both.
“Oh no Jess, you didn’t.” Greyson said tically and in a swift movement he was capturing Jessy in his arms
and attacking her sides with tickles.
The soon to be four years old laughed loudly while she squirmed trying to get out of his hold.
“Say sorry.” Greyson said but the stubborn mini version of herself refused screaming ‘No! to the request.
Soon she gave in though.

“Sowy! Sowy!” She finally said and Greyson released her.
“See that wasn't so hard, was it?” He said smirking at Jessy.
The little girl only stuck her tongue out at him again but this tbefore he could capture her she was running

It broughtso much peace and joy to watch them.
| finished unpacking the basket while they ran around the fields and even helped myself to sfood.
| watched as Greyson caught up with Jessy but he didn’t tickle her as expected instead he picked her up into his
hands and they began whispering to each other.
When they both turned mischievous eyes to me, | just knew that | was about to bectheir next prey. They
both stalked towardsbut | remained silent.
“Well Mommy, it isn’t very fair of you to start eating without us don’t you think?” Greyson said.
“Yes mommy!” Said his little helper.
“You both were playing and | was starving!” | defended
“Let’s get her Jessy!” Greyson urged..
And of course my little traitor of a child, lunged towardsand they both began tickling my sides.
| wouldnt change anything in my life at the moment, everything felt so beautiful and so perfect and for the first
t| hoped that it would remain like that for a long time.
