Emerald Dreams

Emerald Dreams "We should run off to Ireland,” she said. “Really, we should." "We could live by the sea, talk into the rainy nights, and wake with the screeching of sea birds." “We could buy fresh bread and cheeses from the little markets, and brew strong tea for our breakfasts.” “I could buy a loom and make sweaters,” she smiled. “And I could learn to row a dingy and catch fish,” he replied, ''We would build fires by the sea and cook the fish", she offered brightly "But I would always be home with you when the weather was bad.” He assured her And so they talked into the rainy night in Chicago, where it was cold.
