She dreamed of walking through a garden of roses. They were all turned towards the girl, vivid and scarlet as if they were looking at her. Above, the sky was impossibly blue and the rays of the sun made the blooms glow like red jewels floating on a sea of green leaves. There was no end in sight.
The leaves rustled beneath her bare feet. An invisible breeze passed by and through her hair and a storm of petals flew past. She squinted and covered her eyes with one arm. When they were all gone and the girl uncovered her eyes, she saw him, squatting down, stroking one of the roses. His spring yellow-green hair cascaded over his shoulders and down his back.
She walked up to him, her heart racing.
He looked up to see who was walking towards him and smiled.
They talked. She didn't remember what about exactly. At some point, another breeze passed through. It smelled of the salt and the sea. He looked towards the horizon and when he spoke again, she finally heard his voice.
"I think it's the ocean."
He smiled at her encouragingly and gently asked if she was going there next. Her heart seized. But somehow she nods. She resumed walking towards the sea. Before she went any further she turned to ask if he could come with her.

But when she turned around he was gone.]
