She remembers the first day "I love you" slipped through her lips. She was with him, the sunset melting into a purple hue. Under the willow tree in his backyard, Victoria sat on his lap, her body tangled in his. He rocked her back and forth, her hair swinging with a melodious swish. She stared into his piercing blue eyes and daringly whispered the words: "I love you."

  He paused and stared at Victoria  intently.

  "I-I love you too." He scrambled to find his words as Victoria drew a kiss from his lips.

  They continued to lay under the willow tree until they saw the sky melt into an orange hue and the sun peer through the clouds.
