A burning dawn was laid out before her as she strode into the world with an air of confidence and wonder. Her first night in her new vacation home, a sizable three bed and two bath cabin, had been magnificent; a startling sunset, a marvelous bath under the stars and a sleep so deep and sublime that she almost couldn't believe it was real. It was everything she knew she had been needing and more.
Her delicate fingers swept through her hair, a brilliant wash of beaming gold. The sky appeared as a pale reflection of her radiance and presence. The dawn was a sign of such a bright and wondrous new chapter beginning with such a well earned vacation. Her cabin was placed just on the edge of an old and peaceful forest, with a small lake not far beyond and a winding trail through the center.
After a pleasant breakfast, Jessica decided an exploratory walk to experience the whole of the land was in order, an expedition into the stunning unknown. From her home she made her way down the quaint trail, her simple sundress catching leaves as she walked. The birds orchestrated a cheerful dissonance which she hummed to and around.
Quickly the minutes had turned to an hour as she found herself deep within the woods. Thoughts of returning paced beside her but the sun kept shining and the breeze was still refreshing. She had encountered a small fox and a family of raccoons. As she had passed by the lake she saw turtles and cute pink fish. The woods were quickly becoming a place of happiness for the curious woman, all sense of worry or stress rapidly melting away. The vacation home was already making itself worth the investment.
