Sorry for a long time without an update. This one is special for the 4th of July, the next one is just a normal one. Thanks!
Fireworks
Fireworks had always enchanted her as a child, flashing up into the sky so brightly, and then sparkling with glorious fire as they fell. Fireworks had entranced her, but they'd also been a time of loneliness. With no parents to watch fireworks with her, she had always been cold in the evening air, shivering with nobody to warm her. They'd always seemed somehow lacking, with no mother to wrap around, no father to talk to, and no boyfriend or husband to hug and kiss under the sparkling light's. While she always went to the fireworks with a feeling of anticipation, and watched them happily for the first few seconds, she always ended up walking home dejected.
But now, they were a happy time.
They'd met under the fireworks. She'd twisted her ankle walking home, and he'd been the kind stranger who'd offered her a had in getting home. They'd talked, exchanged numbers, and become friends quickly.
He'd kissed her under the fireworks. Then she'd spent three days waiting for him to ask her out. Finally, he did.
He'd asked her to marry him under the fireworks. She'd cried, and then said yes, and they'd embraced under those shining trails of fire. And when they'd ended their embrace, they sat under the coldly shining fireworks, until they ended, and then walked home under the moonlight.
