Word Prompt: Varnish
I walked to the bathroom, grabbing a cloth and wetting it with cold water. The warm day in May made it prefect for me to refinish the front room table Jasper had built for me. I knew he wasn't happy that I was working with such a toxic product, but I just knew the table would look beautiful with the final coat of varnish.
I dabbed the wet cloth to my neck and smiled to myself. Sure, Jasper would complain, saying that the fumes would be bad for me to inhale, that his Alice needed to be healthy, but I knew he would agree with the end result.
I could feel him enter the bathroom before I even saw him. The fact that his cool breath fanned the damp skin of my neck didn't help his usually stealthy self.
"Are you sure you want to do this Alice?" he asked, still trying his best to convince me not to do this.
"It will make me happy, Jasper," I told him, my eyes locking with his crimson ones in the mirror. "Besides, the varnish will give it an elegant and rich look. It'll match the mantel."
He smiled and kissed the crook of my neck. "Anything for my Alice."
