Sorry for missing yesterday. I was at Kayla and Spencer's wedding! (Ugh, I love them so much, Kayla's just an awesomely fun person and Spencer is a flawless husband—did I mention he proposed to her by writing a musical? 'Cause he did.)
Enjoy!
O-o-O
day tenish: silver
"Happy birthday, Pipes!"
She jumped and turned around, ignoring the "awe's" of her siblings, only to see Connor holding out a duct-tape covered blob.
"Classy," she said, taking taped-up package. "Run out of wrapping paper?"
"Sure, let's go with that," Connor said, plopping on the bench between Piper and Mitchell. "Are you going to open it or not?"
Piper grinned and grabbed her knife off the table, carefully cutting through the layers of tape. As she peeled off the fifth strip, she muttered, "Are you sure there's a present in here?"
"Keep cutting," was all he said.
She sliced through another layer of shiny silver tape. "Connor, come on," she griped, "why all the tape?"
He shrugged. "You're cute when you're angry."
She huffed and continued cutting. After another three layers, the tape fell apart in her hand. She peeled the chain off the adhesive, eyeing the dove pendant.
"It's beautiful," she said, watching the rhinestones reflect the sunlight.
"Here." He took the necklace from her, slid the chain around her neck, nimble fingers working the clasp smoothly.
Piper stuck the duct tape wad to his shirt, leaned forward, and kissed his cheek.
O-o-O
Short but fluffy.
I actually envisioned that the necklace was gold, so the only thing silver about this chapter was, in fact, the tape. Because duct tape is awesome.
