The tree was tall and strong and hung from it was a swing that was there for as long as anyone could remember. Allison sat there on warm summer nights waiting for a forbidden visit from Chance – the gardener. Tonight, the air was a bit cooler, and the moon shone brightly leaving a soft glow on the leaves of the garden. In the distance stood Chance admiring the frame of Allison – oh how he wished he could touch her tight curls and feel the warmth that radiated from her mahogany-coloured skin. Her heart raced and ached when she felt his presence – she smiled and inhaled the scent of his air, the wind was in her favour. She trembled as she stood taking slow, deep breaths hoping that their eyes would meet- courage evaded her and instead she walked into the darkest ends of the garden with the moonlight leading her path. She will be back tomorrow.
