Grace was the leader- the sun and the sand and the smile that bound them together. She was a driving force and gentle wave. Her laugh was the salty ocean air and her eyes were green like the sea. She was belief and yearning and hope.
Jackson was the right-hand man- the muscle and the music to which they marched onward and upward. Without him, there was no rhythm or rhyme, no cadence or time. For him, laughter came easy, but smiles came harder. He was strength and sacrifice and loyalty.
Esperanza was the brain- the flawless body with a mind to match. She’d rather spark than light and fight than fly. Her whole being existed around the philosophy of act first, think later. She was intelligence and spontaneity and regret.
Sammy was the heart- the one who’s soft for the sake of all the hard hearts in the world. He was tentative, gentle, and touched everything like a flower petal that could break under the weight of his feather-like fingertips. The earth exploded for him and lit up for his wonder and amazement. He was care and hesitance and kindness.
