Pleasant, Pleasant Surprise

So as you can probably gauge from the avanlanche of entries, I wasn't exactly a joy to have around today. The rain dampened my plans of heading to town. Instead, I lugged my stack of papers home to work on.

With little appetite, I sat about my laptop to work.

The doorbell rang. Mister Toto barked.

Seldom are doorbells meant for me.

Suddenly, my mother called out "Girl ah, there is a delivery for you!"

My concentration broken, I sauntered down the steps to meet a spunky, tanned boy. He is probably younger than me, dressed in home clothes, but nevertheless cute.

"Hi!" He chirped. "Your friend has a delivery of chocolate truffles for you!"

I thanked him and opened the nice green box. A little tray of happy-looking truffles met my eyes.



Oh, my sweetest little buddy! Even if the box contained just ONE truffle, I would give you my wettest, sloppiest kiss if you were there right there and then. So thank your lucky stars you weren't here!
