Be Wary Of Wishes Gone Awry – M Ainihi

Her sister’s mood seemed to instantly brighten, and she was relieved. It wasn’t the first time her sister had slumped into a state of depression, moping around for days, then begged her to go to some rowdy party where she could get drunk and stoned in an attempt to forget about whatever dug at her subconscious.

It was a recurring cycle. Harper reached over from the driver’s seat and squeezed Jillian’s hand. “Thank you for coming with me.” “I just want you to be happy again.” Harper lifted her free hand, then jiggled the car keys so they clinked together. “Well, come on. They have staff available to park the cars.” “Okay. Okay.” She watched as her elder sister leapt from the car and practically sprinted to the passenger-side door to open it for her.

By the time she freed herself from her own seatbelt to join her, Harper was twirling in excited circles, causing the skirt of her short chiffon dress to flare out in a fluttering blur. A smile spread on Jillian’s face as Harper reached out for her and grabbed her hands, then spun again.

As the pair came around full circle, her sister dropped her hands and exclaimed, “What are we waiting for?” Jillian giggled. “The attendant, I think. There are two cars ahead of us.” Harper rolled her eyes and then gave her head an exaggerated shake. “Nonsense.” She dropped her arms to her sides, then strode up to the attendant, who had just taken a set of keys from a man who stood next to the car at the front of the line.

Jillian saw her slip her own keys into his jacket pocket as she leaned into the attendant’s ear. Before he even had a chance to react to whatever she said, she spun on her heels and skipped her way back to where Jillian waited. “Let’s go.” Embarrassed, Jillian’s hand went to her face, and she shook her head. “I don’t even want to know what you said to him.” Harper grinned slyly then winked at her.

“You’re probably right.” Jillian’s eyes widened, and she dropped her hand to her side. “Good, don’t tell me!” “I won’t if you hurry up.” Harper spun in another circle then skipped over to the stairs. “Silly Jilly, are you coming?”

His untidy mop of hair rustled, tickling his forehead and neck as he breathed in deeply.

A hint of brine teased his tongue and caused a coy smile of uncertainty to take root. When he made his way toward the bow of the two-masted vessel, it had been the bold richness of the red sky as the sun was setting that initially caught his attention.
