Spring
came on suddenly, like desert rain. Sarah, forever in love with the
turning of the seasons, woke up full of light and floated to the window,
with breath bated until the rush of cool air twirled her around, and
she breathed out a laugh and, inhaling, felt her eyes sting at the cold.
It could not be much above freezing, but the world had shifted. It was
spring, spring, spring!
