--Coins--
Her warm hand was in mine- her delicate, slender fingers wrapped around my large ones. Lazily, she swung our enjoined hands between us. I followed as she pulled me along- the street vendors were beneath my notice. Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to something over my shoulder, and a look of pure delight came over her face. Laughing, she spun me around.
"Look! A fountain!" Turning her eyes on me, she smiled imploringly. "Do you have any change? Please? I want to make a wish!" I bit back a smile, but dug through my pocket for some small coins. After she took one from my palm, she folded it in her hands, holding it close to her chest and closing her eyes.
"What are you wishing for?" She was standing there, chin raised. She looked angelic.
After a moment, she opened her big blue eyes, letting them sparkle at me. She tossed the coin in, watching the water ripple around it. Stepping back, she took my hand once more.
"If I told you, it wouldn't come true, would it."
