…and it was a nice wedding, as weddings go, but this one was also special, for she admired the man her sister married, for he was kind and funny, and when he put his arm around her sister, he really meant it, for he looked at her with love even if her eyes were not upon him. There was something about this she understood, someone who loved even when no one was watching. Maybe … that’s the type of man she wanted, but of course, she was too young to think about marriage … but still … she must not be too young to think about what she thinks is good in a man … because that’s what she is doing, duh! She sees lots of boys at high school and most of her friends are still boys … but there are a few boys that stand out, the cute, nice, more quiet boys – mostly because they really aren’t just boys… Hmm… She likes her brothers, they are nice, though the oldest is quiet and more within himself, but the younger, just older than her, he is her friend, and they talk, and he is fun to be with, but he is her brother and probably someone just like him wouldn’t do, though she was not sure why. When he was just a kid, he would get really bad gas and everyone would scream and yell and laugh, including her, and that’s probably why he just wouldn’t do, for she would really not want a man with that much gas, no, but maybe that much gas is just what little boys do. Yes, maybe that’s it, she hoped. So, for now, she would just keep looking and watching…
