“I will wait for you as long as it takes.” I confess quietly, as I step out onto the balcony.
“Really?” she keeps hold of the balcony rail as she turns to face me, the sunlight bringing out the gold in her thick chestnut hair as well as the gold flecks in her eyes.
“You are definitely worth waiting for,” I take hold of her hand, drawing her into my body. “You always have been. And besides the longest I’ll have to wait is about four months, for the end of the training period right?”
“Yes.”
“When it’s over then you and I are going to explore exactly what is between us, without the pressure of dealing with other people’s opinions,”
“Where will we go?” she asks, her arms wrapping around my waist and looking up at me with a soft smile.
“I think we should try living in Paphos.” The small smile on her lips widens into a beaming grin at my words, as I knew that it would do. She has so often said that she thinks of Paphos as one of the best places on earth.

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
