“Yeah, it is,” Iris agreed, feeling a pang in her chest.
Dawn took out her camera and snapped a picture of the sculpture. Then she turned to Iris and said, “Can I take a picture of you?”
“Sure,” Iris said, smiling nervously.
Dawn raised her camera and looked through the lens. She saw Iris standing in front of the sculpture, with snowflakes in her hair and a blush on her cheeks. She saw Iris looking at her with a shy expression and a hopeful glint in her eyes. She saw Iris as the most beautiful girl in the world.
She lowered her camera and said, “Actually, can I take a picture with you?”
“Okay,” Iris said, surprised.
Dawn put her camera on a nearby bench and set the timer. Then she ran back to Iris and wrapped her arm around her waist. She pulled Iris close to her and whispered in her ear, “I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” Iris asked, feeling Dawn’s breath on her neck.
“I like you,” Dawn said softly. “I like you more than a friend.”
Iris felt a surge of emotion in her chest. She turned to face Dawn and saw that she was serious. She saw that she was nervous. She saw that she was sincere.
She smiled and said, “I like you too.”
Dawn smiled back and leaned in to kiss Iris. Iris kissed her back and wrapped her arms around Dawn’s neck. They kissed as the camera flashed, capturing their moment of happiness.
They kissed as the snow fell around them, making everything look like a fairy tale.
They kissed as they realized that they had found love in each other."
