She was beautiful. Her hair had a coppery shine, and her brown eyes… He considered himself average. He had loved her since the fifth grade, but deeming himself unworthy, he had never shown his feelings, keeping them hidden behind a facade of indifference.

They hadn’t seen each other in a long time. Kal was talking about their classmates, and the conversation turned to Inna. “A year ago, she and her father had a car accident. Inna is now in a wheelchair. She might need an operation, but I don’t know the details.”

“She loved you,” said Kal. “I confessed my feelings for her at graduation, and she rejected me. Then, she started asking about you. I asked her why, and she said she loved you.

He had spoken without thinking. Inna was equally shocked. She couldn’t believe it. It took a few months before she believed him… The operation was successful. A year passed, and Inna could walk again.

Inna got married. The only shadow on their happiness was the result of the operation: she couldn’t have children. One day, Igor came home from work earlier.

“Get ready,” he said to his wife, “I’m waiting for you in the car.” They arrived at an orphanage. “Why are we here?” Inna worried.

“It’s a surprise… A girl surrounded by toys. With coppery hair…” Inna, Igor, and their miracle with auburn hair. What more could they ask for in life?
