Her eyes lit up like golden liquid ambers in a crackling, pinecone-powered campfire. Her hair glistened with soft dew, like moisture after the drizzle of a light shower of rain. She had a dark complexion, with eyes matching his. Her nose and mouth was pristine, and when she smiled you had to admire her braveness, because half her teeth were missing and a plate was used instead. She had sweetness of breath, and this was reflective of her Type 1 Diabetes, which she had had for many years.
