“Tether
our hearts forever.”
His
ring said.
“Forever
and more.”
Said
hers.
“Your
skin is velvet. Your hair, a crown of spun gold.”
Sighing.
“Come,
husband.”
Coaxing.
“Where,
wife?”
“The loft.”
“Mmmmm
hmmmm.”

ReplyDeleteIt is interesting what is engraved in rings. I used to be a jeweler.
I guess "The Loft" is quite the destination! Thanks.
