Confessions in the Inventing Room
The group walked into a room full of odd machines, wires and switches, enough blinking lights to give someone a seizure, and dozens of Oompa-Loompas in black uniforms running around, performing various tasks.
Willy didn't take a tour of this room, he just made shooing gestures to the winners and said, "Go on and look around, just don't touch anything."
Veruca went chasing after one of the many Oompa-Loompa assistants; Violet went jogging towards a large water tank that seemed to be catching colored balls; Mike was irritated that he was told he couldn't break anything; and Charlie was giving himself a small pep-talk as he walked silently towards Violet.
Toffee smiled as she saw Charlie stand next to Violet and bashfully say something to her. Violet gave a small genuine smile, and said something back that made a smile spread across Charlie's face. He said something back with a smile, then turned to face the water tank, holding hands with Violet.
Toffee smiled again, then scanned the crowded room for Willy. She saw his top hat through a mess of machinery, and started to navigate her way through the room towards him when a firm hand took her shoulder.
She turned around swiftly to find Mrs. Beauregard staring her in the face.
The track-suit clad beast said in a lower voice, "You keep your brother away from my Violet, or so help me Go-"
She was interupted by Willy's voice behind Toffee, saying, "Ms. Bucket, is Mrs. Beauregard bothering you?"
Violet's mother quickly removed her hand from Toffee's shoulder, and said, "Oh no, Mr. Wonka, we just had a wee misunderstanding." She scurried off, pretending to be thoroughly interested in the boiling ratios of sugar to water while Toffee talked to Willy.
Toffee said, "You know, I never did get to see the inside of this room." And then she did something that surprised Willy.
She slowly moved herself to the center of the small clearing they were in, and spread out her arms. She leaned her head back, and slowly began to dance to the rhythm the machines were making.
Just something about that small moment opened the piece of his heart that he had lost when he closed his factory. He smiled a small, gentle smile, then found himself moving closer to her.
Toffee slowly stopped spinning, finally coming to a stop facing him. She stared into his violet eyes, and barely felt as one of his gloved hands wandered to the small of her back.
Willy felt his heartbeat accelerate, and the skin underneath his glove buzz as he brushed a stray lock of her beautiful brown hair behind her ear.
He swallowed once, then said softly, "Ms. Bucket, there's something I've been meaning to tell you something the day I pulled you out of the chocolate river."
He swallowed again, then said, "The truth is, Ms. Bucket, I'm in love with you. I can't seem to get you out of my head."
Toffee smiled, and pulled him a little closer so that they were almost touching. With one hand she gently took off his hat as she leaned forward, and closed the gap between them.
Willy smiled against her kiss, then returned it.
She hung her pale arms around his neck, and found that, surprisingly, he smelled not of chocolate, but peanuts.
He found that Toffee still smelled like cherry blossoms. He remembered the countless times he had cried into her shoulder, and took in the soft scent of cherries that constantly surrounded her.
He started to hold her a little closer when Violet's voice rang through the room; "Hey, Mr. Wonka, what's this?"
Startled, Willy broke the kiss. Toffee smiled, and placed his hat back on his head before he led her to Violet and the rest of the group.
She whispered in his ear, "I love you too." and he betrayed another genuine smile.
