 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Prompt #14: Candlelight
{178 words}
Ary wanted to do something special for Bry this Christmas. He wasn’t sure he had been able to top giving her a Hippogriff thirteenth those Christmases ago, nor giving her a dragon for her sixteenth birthday but he still tried.
Despite having all the runarounds with their families that day, he had made the time to ensure everything was ready. Yes, this included him making these preparations days in advance.
On Christmas evening, the twenty one year old guided Bry to the table for two. “Okay, open your eyes.” Ary pulled his own hand away that had been shielding Bry’s eyes. “So, what do you think?”
Bry, not unsurprisingly, squealed excitedly upon taking in the candlelit table filled with her favourite food; the table was also decorated in a Holiday fashion: tinsel, shades of green and red and so forth. “I LOVE IT!!! Thank you!” She threw herself into Ary’s arms.
Ary wrapped her up tightly. “You’re welcome. I’m glad you like it.” All the planning and hard work had paid off.
Anything for the woman he loved. |
