” She drank the fresh air and bathed the sunlight; she carried the whiff of a lily and the grace of a peacock. She twirled like a butterfly and swayed like a zephyr. She sprinkled the hues of a rainbow and escalated the tweets of a nightingale. She radiated the vibes of a Bohemian and the beats of a dancer.
