Mesmerized, the moment he saw
her prancing on the porch, pretending to be a pony, Dak fell dangerously in
love with Rayna Taylor. She represented luxuries denied him while growing up in
rural Georgia. Her long dark mane of hair, secured by a clasp of ruby red
stones and ribbons of silk, extended high upon the crown of her head, trailed
into a ponytail down her back. Shoeless dancing feet, her toes were painted red
too, and upon one toe was a ring with a tiny, costly chip of a diamond within
its grasp. She and her life were perfect, and balanced, like the leap from one
end of the porch to the other that landed her on one, steady foot. He smiled at
her show, which he assumed was performed for him but it was really just her way
of being.
