Soft, because I knew if I were to touch her skin, it would feel like a peach, the kind of woman you could almost smell from inside the building.

A golden crown of braids and curls complimented her sun-kissed skin. Her dress draped perfectly over her body, and in that moment, I needed her more than I needed air.
