by Anne Manning
She came skipping down the walk from Eochy's house, a wide smile on her face, even brighter than the sun.
"Ready?" He held his left hand to her, and smiled as the gold of his wedding ring caught the sunlight.
"Yep."
He led her to the edge of the cliff.
"Remember, now, you can't open your eyes. And you have to believe."
Annabelle gazed at him, eyes bright and twinkling.
"You know I believe in you." She leaned forward and pressed a kiss on his lips.
"Let's go!" She closed her eyes and held on.
Gaelen judged the breeze and unfurled his wings. Seems his ol' da had forgotten to tell him they could be used to glide. He stepped toward the edge of the cliff. Annabelle followed, no hesitation in her step. Her smile was, as ever, full of wonder and anticipation.
If anything, it was Gaelen who was a bit uncertain, but he'd never let her down.
He leaned out into the uplifting breeze and stepped out. Annabelle followed.
"Whe-e-e-e-e!" Annabelle's voice sang above the wind.
Lucas and Erin, Eochy and Susan, stood at the top of the cliff and waved, laughing and calling.
Gaelen glided along the river, down and then up.
"Bridget! I feel like Superman!" he laughed.
Annabelle laughed with him and turned, her eyes open and smiling.
"You're not supposed to be looking," Gaelen said, trying to scold.
"Nonsense. I knew you could do it. Why not look?"
And she did, her eyes taking in sights seen only from such a height.
"Time to go back?" he asked.
"No, please?"
She was a favorite, after all. How could he refuse?
