Beautiful

The realm of the Tide Queen is magnificent. Traveling the world on the Serene Bounty, I thought I had seen everything the sea had to offer. But, being on the waves is very different from seeing what lies underneath them. Colors I couldn't have imagined. Sea life so close I could almost touch it. The experience nearly brought me to tears.
 
As wonderful as all this was, I kept turning my eyes to Thalia, who held my arm the entire time. I can tell she sees me as a friend, possibly her best friend. I am okay with that. I want to tell everything I am feeling with her by my side, but I know I can't. It's too soon and I don't have it all figured out, yet. Like this underwater world, she is beautiful in a way I never know beauty could be. I have to keep reminding myself we only met a few days ago, but we've already been through so much during that time. I know she is important to me. Whatever our future together maybe, I will be here for her. I will be her anchor.
