Fleeting memories of times long gone by danced through Hugh's thoughts. Some bad and some good, all reflecting on a moment similar to this, with much different character. He focused on Sana as she sang and danced her colorful act out. The spark in her eyes excited him. His mind kept wandering with thoughts of her as he seemed to keep falling in love over and over again.

The allure of her beauty could only be dampened as his thoughts suddenly flooded him with memories of his family. He hadn't felt this for awhile, and his face faded to look a slight bit distressed for the moment. His eyes showed a sudden look of worry as the images of horror came back for an instant. A flash of fires, screaming, and terror distressed his peaceful demeanor. He winced as the flash of the blood spilled all over the ground came back. He remembered how it seemed like so much blood.

He remembered having it all over his hands and clothes, unable to wash it out. How he had just stripped down to his undergarments and threw his bloody clothes on the fires, leaving his family to be made into ashes. His expression finally came back as he realized the present. He felt healing again, remembering all the good he had there with him. He felt his mood begin to heal again, as his thoughts suddenly redirected to the mesmerizing image of Sana dancing and singing in front of him.

Her eyes recaptured his attention as the hurt quickly faded away. He felt heightened arousal as she danced in front of him. He breathed in a deep breath, exhaling slowly as he took the sight in. He felt his mind begin to heal again. It was such a process, as the hurt would come and require healing again, but it would always heal again. This time it was feeling more permanent.

When the song finally finished and Sana took her leave from her partner, the last words of the song seemed to etch themselves into Hugh's mind. They would leave a permanent memory, that would bring him back to that eternally happy moment of healing. As Sana came over to Hugh, he set himself down on the edge of the wagon, making room for her. He sat very widely, with his legs far apart. He still managed to leave a good area for Sana to be beside him. He looked into her eyes, his own filled with happiness and satisfaction. He felt the desire to be with her, to feel her, taking over his mind. 

Thoughts of intimacy played through his mind. His heart beat quicker with excitement at her appearance. Finally, he reached out a hand towards her, to receive her, with his arm outstretched for her to welcome herself into his embrace.
