Snow: Preview
I've known Twilight all my life. We've been friends since pre-school. Nothing more, nothing less. All of that is about to change.
Monday, 10:00 am.
"How have you been Twilight?" I asked her.
"Oh fine, really. I've had a lot on my mind recently."
"Yeah, like what?" I brushed part of my black and green hair out of my face.
"Oh, just been thinking about settling down, and starting a family."
She played with her sapphire ring a bit, twisting it around her finger.
"Well it's a good age to start. You're still young, beautiful!"
"We're young, you mean."
"Haha, whatever! Anyways, I'm sure there are tons of men out there that would marry you in a heartbeat!"
I took a sip of my warm coffee. I loved the little milk swirls inside the mug. I loved to watch them morph into new pictures, and study every little detail.
"Yeah, men…" She stared out the café window. She seemed deep in a thought.
"Twilight?"
She broke her concentration and took a sip out of her mug. She looked back up at me, giving her full attention.
"Sorry, yes?"
"Do you ever wonder what it would be like in heaven?"
She stared into her coffee for a minute, pondering the thought.
"Well, who doesn't?"
I smiled.
"We should get going. It starts soon."
I scooched out of the booth, and stood next to the table.
"Come on, Twilight, you don't want to miss it, do you?"
"Nah, I'm fine here. It's going to be cold anyways."
"Ok, see you later then?"
"Yeah."
I was a little upset about her not coming with me, but I supposed it would be fine.
Before exiting the café, I tightened the green scarf around my neck, and tugged on my little snow hat, so it was nice and snug. I stepped outside and I was instantly chill. The cold bit at my skin, attempting to swallow me whole. I began walking down the road to my house. There was frost on the ground, and it was starting to snow.
"I love the smell of snow," Twilight would say. She just had this… bond, if you may call it, with snow. She loved everything about it, the way it smelled, the way it felt in her gloves, and the sound of the squish, squish when you stepped through it. She loved waking up to snow outside her window. Twilight, of course, adored the sparkle of the new-fallen pellets of snow.
I wondered why she didn't want to come out to the park today. There was going to be a mini-street fair. A band was even going to play. I was looking forward to spending time with Twilight, but she said 'It's going to be cold.' That I didn't understand. She said it as if the bitter weather was bad.
Well, I didn't want to go by myself, so I decided to go home and rest.
