"Um, well, then... I might come back again to get another candy drop!"
Those words kept rebounding across her mind. Those words, giving her the will to carry on with hope of his return.
Pudding clutched her last candy drop to her chest, crushing it in her grip. Her cheeks, wet with tears glistened under the moonlight as she stood on her balcony staring up at the glistening stars, wishing, dreaming, hoping for him to return to her side.
