New series for once! Here's Day 8 of the 100 Day Drabble Challenge.
Tate and Violet lay on her floor, situated around a Scrabble board. Violet stared intently at the board. Tate stared intently at her. As he watched the gears turning in her head, he thought of the depth of his feelings for her. He truly felt as thought Violet was the one thing that anchored him to this earth. He'd felt so lonely, so bitter, before he'd met her. But the moment he had seen her, he knew that she was the one. Tate knew that he could never love another like he loved Violet.
"..ate? Tate? Tate?"
The boy snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Violet curiously. She pointed to the board. "It's your turn."
She had spelled out the word YOU.
He smiled and spelled out the word LOVE.
Now they were both smiling. They leaned in to kiss, but Tate paused. He whispered "I" and pressed his lips to Violet's.
