Author's note: I said it would be within a week, and here it is! Thank you all so much for welcoming me back with no hard feelings after the 20 day wait!

To PryingLittlePandora: Thank you. I wish I could say more, but the only thing I can really say to all of your wonderful compliments is "Thank You!"

Heaven

The treasure was in sight. Out in the open, all alone, bathed in a rare patch of golden sunlight.

Will glanced around. No one was watching. He was alone with his treasure, the only pleasure that didn't make him guilty.

He crossed the distance in two long strides, almost reverently taking this precious gift in his hands. He brought it to his lips and his eyes slipped shut in utter bliss.

So this is what heaven tastes like…

The remainder of the chocolate tart vanished in mere moments.


Hesitate

Time stopped.

They were so close. Only a hairsbreadth of empty air separated their lips.

Her eyes were still sparkling at him. He couldn't help noticing how easy it would be to kiss her.

But he didn't know if she wanted it as much as he did.

So he hesitated.


Not including the title, Hesitate was exactly 50 words. That's harder than it sounds, by the way! Pick your couple for it, since it fits practically any boy/girl pairing, but I had Gideon and Sophie in mind! And yes, there will be some proper Gideon/Sophie in the future! Next chapter: Woolsey Scott!
