Quotes From The Book:

"Wild seeds and flower elements pervaded the air, like frosty particles that never melted. White speckles floated around, sitting in the backdrop of an increasingly hazy day. It looked as if nature was exploding, all awash with colour and movement, a truly spectacular and memorable day. One that they would both look back on with fondness."

"The field seemed to be a source of life, as butterflies flittered around and insects filled the skies darting all over. Dying wild flowers let loose embers of petals and seeds, their last natural attempt to spread and pollinate. The place was like a quilt of life, where one could jump straight into it and wrap oneself in all the beauty of creation"

"The moment his bleary eyes opened to try and throw off the tiredness of the long night, he noticed the deep rays of sun touching the tip of his nose. It felt smartly welcoming, like a gentle hand reminding him of the beauty still there for him"
