This week's prompt was "bathed".
“How do you like your eggs?” he asked, smiling at her sleepy face. The kitchen was bathed in sunlight and she squinted up at the window, wide and high off the ground.
“What time is it?” she queried, dodging a kiss and moving toward the coffee pot. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her toward him and kissing the back of her head.
“Don't worry about the time.” he whispered in her ear, holding her close. “We have all day.”
“Well maybe you do,” she said, straining against his firm embrace,“but I have things to do today.”
LOVE!!!! :)

ReplyDeletegood job, Tin
I would love to hear more of this story...
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than when two people are out of sync. It's sad, but it always seems so unnecessary, as if there is just one little thing that is out of balance and just the right tweak would bring everything back into alignment.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much guys! And Velvet I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteA lovely picture of a moment in time. It made me ask questions like, why has he time & she's in a hurry? Is there a problem with the relationship that he doesn't know about?
ReplyDeleteI always think a story should leave the reader wanting more - this one did.
I had a 'so sad for him' moment. I think VV had it, these two are out of sync. There's a lot here, just under the surface.
