Chapter 10: Teddy and Roxanne
Candle flavour: spiced orange
Extra prompts: ephemeral, crusades
They promised they would be together forever, promised it as they stood under a brilliant orange moon in Roxanne's back garden, and, at the time, they meant it. But then they left to go on their own crusades, to find their own adventures. Roxanne left for Asia, emersing herself in luxurious silks and exotic spices; and Teddy for Africa, where he somtimes saw another tangerine moon and remembered what he had promised. But he knew they weren't meant to be: they could only ever have been short-lived, ephemeral; never the forever and always they had planned.
In case you were wondering, I don't own the title to this drabble - that would be the property of Miss Taylor Swift.
Please leave a review; they make me smile, everytime :)
