She dreamed that she was standing on the edge of a cliff with the wind blowing all around her. It swept through her black hair and carried her lavender dress high above her knees. ... She felt immortal and untouchable by everything but God. The skies darkened suddenly, causing a storm with fierce rain and winds. ... The blow of the storm knocked her off the cliff, and she fell aimlessly down the side. Trying to grab hold of anything in her midst, she continued to fall, spinning rapidly to the bottom of the ravine. Out of nowhere came Nathanael; he scooped her up in his arms and placed her safely on the ground. They gazed at each other. She still had a hold of his neck as he leaned in to kiss her. At that moment, she heard her name being called. It echoed from far away, and she turned to face the call. Walking closer and closer, she reached an engulfing darkness as she gradually faded into consciousness. Eighteen-year-old Bianca longs for a break from her boring life in Oklahoma.
