The warmth of the sun had mellowed her-that and the crying. So muchcrying lately. The beach seemed a safe refuge. How much more could sheendure, Melissa wondered? Then she slept...

She was walking toward the sound of a waterfall. She stepped throughthe lush tropical foliage, the pathway barely visible. Cool, moist air trappedin the canopy of greenery transported her to another world. The earthcushioned her bare feet, and the silky plants that hugged the path tickledher legs, depositing moisture that had been waiting on the tips of the leaves.

The path curved and a choice was placed before her. Straight ahead,or turn right toward the sound of water? A voice from within said, Thewater, and more, waits for you there.

Obeying, she followed the gentle decline and, moving from beneaththe parasol of trees, was bathed in sunshine. A luminous pool of waterringed with thirsty ferns waited, beckoning her onto the sandy beach. Asshe walked toward the water a movement caught her eye. She turned andsaw her husband. But somehow he was different. As she studied him sherealized that he was looking at her with more love than she'd felt in a verylong time.

They stared in silence, then he reached out to her. She walked towardhim and without hesitation put her hand in his.

"David, why are you here?"

"I'm here because you need me to be." Then he folded her into hisarms and softly said, "Melissa, I'm here to love you." She absorbed hisstrong embrace, and felt his love filling her.

She stepped back and looked into his eyes, wanting to see his faceonce more. Her heart swelled. "I never knew you could love me this way."

"Melissa, I've always loved you, but I've never known how to expressit to you. Don't you know that?"

"I guess I expected it to happen naturally. I've considered giving up.It seems we've just drifted apart. I never thought it would happen to us."

"Melissa, it doesn't have to be that way. I'm here to show you what'spossible so you'll be inspired to guide us back to the love we shared in thebeginning. I want that for us...if you do." He searched her eyes for an answer.

"Oh, David, I do. If I didn't, I would have already left But how canwe make it different? I feel so helpless."

"The only thing I know is that you must go back and continue tofollow the path. The answer lies beyond. More than that, I can only guess."

. . .Once again Melissa moved through the tropical garden which shimmeredgreen as the sun peeked in and out. After a time the path continued up ahill; anticipation pushed her on.

Bursting through the trees into the sunshine, she found herself standingat the edge of a grassy field littered with wildflowers. The path led towarda slight incline, where she could see someone sitting.

As she drew closer, she saw a jovial woman waving at her. But besidethe woman was an awesome sight-a lion with a full mane.

The woman patted the blanket next to her. "Come, sit by me. We'vebeen waiting for you."

As Melissa neared the woman, the lion stood up. He seemed quitecalm but it made Melissa more than nervous.

The woman laughed. "Welcome to our hilltop. Although my friendhere won't ever be totally domesticated-and I wouldn't want that-hewon't harm you. He's just happy to see you. My name is Tiana."

Melissa allowed the beautiful beast to come close to her, then walkedto the blanket. The lion immediately sat beside Melissa, making Tiana laugh.

"His name is Solomon," said Tiana. "He's been a good friend for avery long time." She watched him snuggle closer, obviously enjoying thevisitor.

Then Tiana looked directly into Melissa's eyes. "Your heart has beenaching. Am I right?"

"Yes," she responded with surprise. "How did you know?"

"Never mind that. Tell me about it.""I've been seriously considering leaving my husband. We've been

married for nine years and it seems like we just. ..coexist The love andpassion we used to enjoy is gone."

"If it could be like it was in the beginning, wouldyou want to stay with him?" Tiana leaned closer. "Youknow, he loves you very much."

"I'd forgotten how it was to feel his love. But thenI met him at the pool beneath the waterfall. It was sogood to be in his arms and have him look at me thatway." Melissa felt her heart warming again.

"You can have that, but you must first embraceyour powers as a woman. Solomon can help you, if you're interested."

"Of course I am. I've invested over 9 years in my marriage; plus ifDavid can love me like I felt by the pond, I'm willing do whatever I can.So, yes, please, what do you want to tell me, or does Solomon talk?"

Tiana laughed. "No, Solomon can't talk, but he can teach you a fewthings, can't you, boy?

"Your husband is a lot like my friend here. Comparing Solomon andDavid will give you a new perspective on your relationship with David,and actually, with all men.

"You see, men and lions are pretty simple beings. They're contentwith little, and not particularly complicated. It doesn't take much to knowwhat will make them happy and if you keep doing those things, their heartsare yours." She reached out and roughed Solomon's mane. "Women try tomake it so complicated. But men need you to keep it simple.

"With David, once the original 'best behavior' phase was over, wasthe next phase pretty much what you have now?"

"Well, yes, pretty much. He's the way he was back then, except hecouldn't get enough of me. Now, he hardly notices I exist." Tears began toform in Melissa's eyes.

"You were starry-eyed, you paid attention to what he liked, andcouldn't do enough for him. Am I correct?"

Melissa nodded."Well, that's who he thought he was marrying. But after you got

married, life got busy, and you probably got comfortable in the relationshipand didn't feel the need to do as much. Think back now, isn't that aboutwhen he quit showing as much interest?"

Melissa nodded."Because of the potential for boredom it's actually necessary to do

To have whatyou want, youmust embraceyour powersas

more to keep the love and romance alive after you're married. Otherwisedaily life takes over and the love and passion fades. Even with a lion, you'dget into a predictable routine after a period of time.

"The difference between lions and men, however, is that you expect alot more from men. But, like lions, most men will settle into a comfortableroutine that's easy but not very exciting. It's just the way they are.

"You may not like to hear this, but a relationshipis not a focus for men like it is for women. It is whenhe's trying to win you over, but that's the goal-oriented,success-driven hunter. Once the goal of findingsomeone to love has been achieved, he goes on to hisnext goal, which is to be successful at providing foryou.

"To a woman, that's the time it seems the man loses interest. What'sreally happening is that his focus shifts to providing for you, which is hisinterpretation of making you happy. This makes a woman less happy withhim and she usually begins to try to improve things by attempting to changehim. This is one of the worst things a woman can do. When a man thinks awoman is trying to change him, resentment and defensiveness builds upand his heart begins to harden."

Tiana stopped, noticing that Melissa was no longer paying attention,lost in thoughts of her own.

"Did I hit a chord?""Yes, it's as if you've been watching me in my relationship with David.

Everything you said is precisely what happened with David and me.""Well, I'm going to teach you insights that will help you change how

you interact with David."Men instinctively know that women are the relationship experts, so

they react to what you do. Like Solomon here,he follows my lead. You expect David to payattention to the nurturing of your relationship,but he won't, unless you do. You're the leader,he responds.

"David really does want to make youhappy, but complaining, nagging, and trying to

change him is the best way to push him away. Nagging is probably themost unattractive thing a woman can do. What he wants more than anythingis for you to tell him-simply, directly, and clearly-what will make youhappy. And don't ask for anything he shouldn't or can't provide. That'sanother thing that drives men crazy. They need to feel successful. If you

give them unattainable requests, they want to run the other way. Clearcommunication is what he wants...and achievable goals.

"As with lions, men respond beautifully to training with love, attention,rewards, and positive feedback. They like it simple."Their list of desires is pretty short, which makesthem fairly predictable.

"Actually, neither lions nor men are verycomfortable with change. When you introducesomething new to David you know right awaywhether or not he likes it. If he does, he's in heaven

if you do it for him once in a while. Am I right?"Melissa nodded her head."Men are direct. They don't make you guess what they'd like, and

they're not afraid to ask for what they want. So men understand when womenare direct in their requests. It's like you're speaking their language. But,there are women who want so much that they become a bottomless pit.Men run from this kind of woman because they never feel successful ifthey can't make a woman happy, and a woman who wants more and moreand more is never happy.

"David is not going to judge you for saying what you want. Actually,he wants more than anything to make you happy andhe'll be ecstatic if you tell him simply and clearly whatyou want. Making you happy makes him happy."

"I don't know. I always hope he'll...just know. It doesn't seem very romantic for me to tell him."

"His concept of romantic is different than yours,Melissa. For most men, being romantic means getting you ready for sex.They don't realize that romance for a woman is all the little things that tellher he cares, which gets her emotionally ready for lovemaking. They haveto make a conscious effort to do the kinds of things women want. If youdon't tell him what will make you feel romanced, things will stay the sameand you'll be on your way to a divorce. Is that what you want?"

"No, of course not. It will take some getting used to, but I know I cando it...You know, I never noticed it before, but compared to me, Davidreally doesn't have many needs. I feel like I've been pretty demanding.And here I am wanting more."

"Well, some men can be demanding, but it's usually more aboutcontrol. Some men who control do so because they saw their fathers treattheir mothers that way, some because they're insecure and have no powerin their lives, some because they don't like or respect women, and some

because they're just mean. Fortunately, the controlling man is the exception."Let's talk about love, shall we?" Tiana smiled, obviously enjoying

herself. "A big reason David fell in love was because, in the beginning ofyour relationship, you were fascinated by his intellect, bravery, strength,sense of humor, and overall masculinity. Sadly, somewhere along the way,you lost that adoration. Your respect made David feel like a man, whichmade him feel loved, and in return he delighted in you.

"David needs to see that respect in your eyes," Tiana explained. "Heneeds to know you think he's wonderful. It makes him feel like a manwhich is when he feels most alive. It makes him feel whole and complete,powerful, and successful. That's when he's most able to love you. Through

your womanness you can give that to him, and in returnhe'll cherish, adore, and love you more deeply thanyou ever dreamed possible. That's what was going onwhen you two first fell in love, and you can bring itback again, even more powerfully, because you'rewiser now. You can do it consciously, and fulfill bothof your hearts' desires. I respect Solomon because he's

a lion and all that that means. Respect David because he's a man."Tiana was silent for a moment. "Melissa, do you hear what I'm saying?

You are the key to unlocking all the love that David is aching to shower onyou. It's an awesome power. It's the power to create love."

Melissa's eyes filled with tears. "Oh, Tiana, I can feel it. I feel likeI'm bursting with it. I never realized."

"It's beautiful, isn't it? That awe in a woman's eyes has a lot to dowith a man's desire to seek a new woman. Women belittle it as simply egogratification but, as you're beginning to see, it runs more deeply than that.At his core, a man needs to feel important and necessary to the woman he'sinvolved with, so he can feel like a man. That does not mean you demeanyourself, not in any way. Just appreciate and respect him as a man and allhis masculine qualities. It's that simple."

Tiana's eyes became gentle. "Melissa,David needs that from you. No one else cangive it to him. When that admiration wasreplaced by the daily chores of life, his interestbegan to wane. The key to getting the romanceand love you desire is to make him feel goodabout being a man."

Melissa felt her heart aching. "I understand.""Women expect more from men than men are able to give. Women

make the mistake of assuming that men think and feel like women do, butmen and women are really quite different. Men aren'tparticularly emotional. Men have strong emotions-they are human, after all-but they don't spend a lotof time thinking about what they're feeling. Whenthey do succumb to an emotion, they express it, thenlet it go. Mostly they're pretty unaware of what'sgoing on inside of them."

"Hearing that makes me feel sad for David. Iget so much pleasure out of feeling my emotions and talking about them."

"You're beginning to see that it's not easy being a man. Solomondoesn't roar that often, but when he does, I pay attention. Most men arelike that too. It's not their way to talk just to talk. Of course, when you andDavid were getting to know each other David wanted to know everythingabout you. You were new and exciting."

"Yes, David and I used to talk for hours at a time. I miss that," Melissasaid as a sadness came over her face.

"Yes, I know. It's a woman's way of connecting with others. If youexplain that to him, and save the talking for when you really need it orwhen you'll both enjoy it, he'll be responsive. What shuts a lot of mendown is that women like to talk about the little details, and too much of thatmakes men kind of crazy. Notice when you do this and try to hold back.Talk to another woman about all the fun little tidbits."

"Yes, I see what you mean. How boring it must be for Davidsometimes."

"Just pay more attention, that's all. You stilln e e dto be you, and he enjoys some of the details. Now, ifwe're going to talk about men we can't skip this nextsubject.

"David has a few basic needs that only you, hisromantic partner, can fulfill. One of the most

important is sex, which for most men is the only waythey know how to be intimate. Society doesn't really give them any otheroutlets. Women often complain that sex is all a man cares about and theyresent it

"We don't physically neuter men like we do our male pets, but thereare many ways in which a man can be emasculated."

"What do you mean?" Melissa looked somewhat defensive."Every time a woman belittles a man, every time a woman points out

how a man isn't providing enough, or when a woman rudely rejects a man's

interests, and especially every time a wife rejects her husband sexually,he's emasculated, little bits at a time. These kinds of things make a manfeel less than a man. When that happens, he shuts down-and a shut-downman cannot love." Tiana noticed Melissa's pained expression. "What'swrong?"

"Oh, as you were speaking, I thought about the times I've turnedDavid down. I never realized how significant it was. I hate that I've hurthim."

"Well, that's an easy one to fix. He'll get over it if you start loving sexagain. And don't turn him down unless you have a really good reason-and be terribly sensitive, because it hurts him at his core.

"When a man meets a woman, he's hopeful that she likes sex. Mostwomen do a lot to look attractive, alluring, and even seductive, so there'sno reason he should think she's not interested in sex. But because manywomen are not honest in their "packaging"-women do know what mostmen are looking for-men have learned to be skeptical. When a man findsout that a woman really does like sex, his interest skyrockets. That doesn'tmean he'll act on it' because in most cases he doesn't-unlike lions-buthe can't help but be attracted, even if she's not his type of woman. Don'tstop looking and behaving like a lady, but a woman who likes sex puts outa different kind of signal. Men just know.

"When you first were with David you were probably more interestedin sex than you are now, am I correct?"

"I really don't know why, but I'm afraid you're right.""Well, most women, even those that are not that sexual, are more

interested in sex with a new love. It's partly hormones, but partly becausewomen instinctively know that sex is almost always the best way to hook aman. And it usually works.

"Of course, if a man is interested in a woman enough to marry her,that means there are a lot of things besides sex that intrigue him. Men knowthat sex after marriage often becomes less frequentand passionate, but they always hope it won't happento them. The best way to keep a man interested is tobe enthusiastically available for sex. Little surprisescan add a lot of spice to the mix and most men arethrilled when a woman takes the initiativeoccasionally."

"You're right. In the beginning, I loved havingsex with David. Lovemaking was a top priority. But, like you said, I guessthe daily chores and work moved to first place. You know, I'm getting

When you lovehaving sex withhim he can’tkeep you off ofhis mind.

excited to go back and do what I can to make my relationship with Davidpassionate again."

"I'm glad to hear that, because it really is up to you. Women forgetthat a lot of the intense love and romance that occurs in the beginning of arelationship has to do with the sexual energy that's being shared. There'sno one else you share that with, and it should be cherished. You have thepower to make David a very happy man and you'll get what you've beenmissing because his interest in you will grow tremendously. You'll findDavid being more romantic because when you love having sex with himhe'll have difficulty keeping you off his mind. When you make a man thathappy, he wants to make you happy in return.

"If a woman is enthusiastic about sex but her partner isn't, that usuallymeans that he's feeling emasculated in other areas of the relationship, or

possibly in his work. It may take some time, butif belittling and complaining is replaced byappreciation, he'll come around. You can countermost outside forces by making him feelsuccessful at home. You've got to be the proactiveone in this arena, but he'll respond if you givehim a chance...Especially if you match his

interest in sex." Tiana winked."David loves having you in his life but he's insecure about the

relationship because he knows you expect a lot. But he trusts you to knowwhat to do. He did his part, which was to pursue and win you over, butbeyond that' he's at a loss when you say you want more romance, or intimacy,or love. He needs your gentle, feminine guidance. That's the way to getwhat you want.

"If you don't let David know what to do, he'll trust that it's goingfine, and you'll be disappointed if he falls short of your expectations. Or, ifyou complain and don't let him know how to solvethe problem, he'll pull away and avoid you moreand more. You must lead by example. Trust me onthis. Treat him the way you want to be treated andhe'll do the same for you. But you'll need to bepatient."

"Thank you, I feel like I'm seeing David forthe first time and I'm certain I can make ourmarriage exciting for both of us. Is there more I need to know?"

"Oh heavens yes! But first, let me say that lions in the wild can bemean and unpredictable. Some roam off, some turn on you for no explainable

reason. You have to be smart and stay away from the ones you think mighthurt you. But Solomon here is easy to have around and he gives me a lot ofpleasure. But, I don't ignore him and I do my part so I get what I want fromour relationship. That's what it takes to make a man happy, and a happyman is a loving man.

"Melissa, if you use this information wisely, it can make a differencein your entire future. But I haven't really explained how you're going tomake all these changes occur. Let's go for a walk and I'll tell you more."

. . .

Melissa followed Tiana as Solomon led the way down the back side of thehill. The ocean was sparkling a short distance below.

"To me, men are special because they have great big hearts and theyjust want to love us." Looking directly at Melissa, Tiana said it again, moreslowly, allowing each word to hang in the air. "They just want to love us."

Melissa felt goosebumps because she realized Tiana was right."As you can see, comparing men and lions makes some sense. But

the closest comparison I've found for women is dolphins.""Oh I like that Yes, dolphins are wonderful." Melissa laughed at the

playful comparison."Both women and dolphins are sensual and flowing and they move

with spellbinding grace. Aesthetically they're both beautiful, but womanlycurves are especially lovely. Men are in awe of those soft curves, and awoman's skin. Everything a woman does can be graceful. Simply walkingacross a room can practically stop a man's heart.

"Dolphins and women are both relationship-oriented. In the open sea,dolphins live in a community with other dolphins, and in captivity theybecome quite attached to humans. They've even been known to physicallyharm themselves at the idea that they will be separated from humans theycare about.

"Your relationships are an extension of who you are as a woman. Yourattachments to the men, women, and children you love are strong. Most

women are nurturers by nature, gaining deep satisfaction from caring forothers. They're drawn to please others, oftensacrificing their own needs and desires. Becausewomen are givers, others take that for granted anddon't realize that women need to be appreciated.Consequently, women often let resentments buildup.""Yes, I do that. I give and I give, but I don't feel

like I get much in return.""I have two things to say about that, Melissa. First, you've already

said you don't ask for what you want, that you think David should 'justknow.' And, second, I suspect you don't do much to take care of and nurtureyourself. Giving is wonderful, but not at the expense of your own needs. Ifyou do that, you're not much good to anyone, including yourself.

"To be the most powerful woman you can be, you must be in integritywith yourself. You cannot put your own needs aside. It will backfire on youevery time. Plus, you must give those people who love you an opportunityto give to you. Your relationships get out of balance otherwise."

"You're right. I don't ask for what I want and I don't always take careof myself. Maybe it's guilt."

"Just think of it as another form of giving, rather than taking. Thatwill shift your attitude. You're giving others the opportunity to have thepleasure of giving to you.

"As significant as relationships are to dolphins, they're alsoindependent, autonomous, and curious-enjoying the pleasures of learningnew things. It's important that you have a strong sense of independenceand autonomy. Too many women give themselves away to a man, and totheir relationship. They forget about their owninterests.

"Stay curious, continue to grow and learn. Oneof the things that you and David enjoyed about eachother when you were first getting to know oneanother-and talking for hours on end-wasdiscovering what was new and different about eachother. If two people become "cookie cutters" of each other, sharing all thesame interests and activities, they no longer hold the fascination that theydid in the beginning. If you give up part of who you are to please David, hecan't possibly respect you. And Melissa, to be fully in your womanly poweryou must have David's respect. And it goes without saying that you mustrespect yourself.

You must have astrong sense ofindependenceand autonomy.

Your relationshipsare an extensionof who you are asa woman.

"Have separate friends, separate interests, take classes, make a pointto spend time apart. Encourage him to do the same, and to spend time withhis male friends. Then you have new and interesting things to discoverabout each other. Does that make sense?"

"Yes, actually. I can see where I've dropped some of the activities Ienjoyed before I met David. I used to love horseback riding but, becauseDavid didn't' I quit. And I don't spend as much time with my women friendsas I used to. I miss them."

"Women and dolphins are communicators," Tiana went on, "chatteringback and forth with each other. Talking is the glue that holds women'srelationships together. When you talk withwomen it fulfills a need within you. It's importantthat you understand how differently men andwomen communicate. With David, you mustspeak more directly, concisely, clearly, and-especially-keep it simple. That is, if you wanthim to hear you. When you talk just to talk, he'susually only going to listen halfway.

"We women enjoy the little details, the subtle nuances that make lifebeautiful and interesting. Men want solid, cognitive information. They wantyou to get to the point' but there may not be a point. You can go ahead andgive David the details if it feels right, but don't blame him for not listeningone hundred percent The best thing to do is let him know that you need totalk to him just to be talking, and that it's okay if he doesn't listen intently.When you do need his full attention, be sure and let him know that's whatyou need and that you want him to be able to focus completely. It maymean you have to select another time that works better for both of you. It'sall part of the dance of give and take.

"Dolphins are beloved around the world and considered highly-evolved, loving-almost spiritual. We know theycommunicate with each other, and one of the mostimportant attributes we think they have is a welltuned sense of intuition. I believe women are highlyevolved too. We have lofty goals regardingrelationships. We know deep within us thatrelationships can take us to high places, places oflove and spiritual connection. Because women seetheir romantic relationship as a vehicle for some oftheir highest aspirations, they must be the caretakers

and nurturers of that relationship. Melissa, use your intuition to help you

We know deepwithin us thatrelationshipscan take us toplaces of loveand spiritualconnection.

nurture your relationship. With a belief in the magic of a heart-and-soulconnection, you and David will be transported to the heights of loving.

"Your feminine intuition is the key to creating magic between youand David. Your intuition is where your deep knowing exists. Learn to

trust that voice within by slowing down...andlistening.

"Be thoughtful before you react and before youspeak. When you have an issue with David, clarifyto yourself what your complaint is, why you feelthe way you do, and how you want him to react. Todo that, pretend to be David. Ask yourself how he

would react. Rehearse different ways to phrase what you need to say, soyou get it just right. You owe it to yourself to put your message across theway you intend it. Then, very carefully, choose exactly the right words andthe right moment to approach him. He'll pay attention and listen to you.He'll respect you and respond in ways that will amaze you.

"Dolphins are highly regarded by mostcultures. Women have not always been.Consequently, women are sometimes unable torealize how magnificent they are. To help you,imagine yourself as a dolphin; gentle, free, loving,and yet, oh so powerful. There's a calmness aboutdolphins too. You must calm yourself before you react to David."

Melissa smiled. "I know what you mean. There's a kind of graceabout them. Partly because of the way they look and move, but even whenthey're being playful, there seems to be love coming from their hearts."

"With feminine grace you can have that kind of love, Melissa. Evenif you were a welder, you could do it with grace. When a woman loves

being a woman, she's comfortable with herself,she embraces her sensuality, she encourages hercreativity, she enjoys sex, she genuinely likesmen, and, most importantly, she's happy fromwithin. A self-confident man feels more of a manin the presence of a woman like that. You can belike that kind of woman."

"I don't know. It sounds reallyintimidating. I feel pretty good about myself most

of the time, but in some situations I don't.""It takes time, but with a belief in yourself you can grow and change.

I know you have it in you. The only way to have a deeply loving relationship

is to respect each other. To gain David's respect, you must become yourmost natural self and be like the dolphin. A quiet woman can be magnificenttoo. Feminine grace is all manifestations of womanness.

"To respect David, look beyond the petty complaints and see into hissoul. If what you see there is good and decent, feel it in your heart andmake that your focus."

"I feel inferior to David sometimes, which makes me angry at himand then I want to belit t le him. Now I feel bad."

"Don't do that to yourself, Melissa. You've been brought up in a culturethat has not valued women or how women have contributed to the world.

Men are more outward and action oriented. It'sbeen easy to see their accomplishments. As abacklash, women have been angry at men forsome time. You can become part of the forwardmovement toward releasing the anger. If youthink of yourself as a dolphin, with all those loftycharacteristics, you'll become an amazingwoman. Then the love and passion between you

and David will reignite. And be playful like the dolphin.""Oh Tiana, it sounds too good to be true. I'm afraid I won't know

what to do.""Use your intuition. You already know everything I've told you; it's

there, within you. But because you were brought up in a patriarchal society,you've lost touch with your feminine intuition. It's been denigrated, andit's time to celebrate it as the magical gift that it is. As you begin to trustyour intuition more and more, you'll become an expert at knowing what todo, and how to do it in the most effective way possible. Your feminineintuition is a gift that can be expanded by trusting it.

"Once David feels your sincerity, he'll begin to respond and love youthe way you experienced him by the water. Isn't that what you want?"

"Of course, very much.""Because you know each other better it's

likely that you'll be able to create even more loveand passion than you experienced in the beginningof your relationship. Deep love comes fromknowing each other well. And because you've seenhow easily the love can be lost in the routine ofdaily life you're more likely to guard against thathappening again. Just remember this: slow down and be thoughtful beforeyou react, lead with love and respect, and keep it simple. You'll be a natural

at it in no time."Melissa kissed Tiana on the cheek. "Thank you, for everything. And"-

she leaned down to scratch Solomon behind the ears "thank you, Solomon.You were a perfect teacher."

Solomon purred in appreciation.

. . .

Melissa woke to the sound of waves breaking on the beach. The sun waslow in the sky and she was chilled, but she felt refreshed and excited. Shelay still, trying to piece together her dream.

That dream came from within me, Melissa thought to herself. Tianawas right, I already know what to do.
