Enfolded in warm brawny arms
their hearts thump in a blissful state,
love is a good thing

The Corner…
Silently, he planned his line of action, driving 6 hours non-stop to catch her unawares at the stroke of ten.
He watched the lights of the diner go off for the day. Knowing that her shift was almost over and she would step out for her brisk walk home, he reached into the glove compartment for the piece and rushed to wait for her at the corner of the street.
June stepped into the chilly night, humming as she strode down the quiet street. Turning the corner to her street she bumped into his hard waiting frame. A quick apology rose to her lips just before his familiar cologne curled up to her nostrils and his warm embrace held her still.
‘Hello sweetheart, I couldn’t wait any longer’ Jed murmured close to her ears. Distance was hard on their relationship and having missed him badly, she simply allowed his presence to envelope her surprised senses.
Reaching for the little box in his coat, Jed went down on one knee…
She squealed her happy acceptance. This corner where they met for the first time when he bumped into her two years ago has become a turning point in her life.

At Long Last! A Husband Found…
It’s a beautiful Spring morning. Everything shines and conspires in accord with the warmth that flows around.
Staring into the mirror in the dressing room, Tess’s joy overflows. She barely slept more than two winks.
The anticipation of her new life has her lips wreathed in smiles and her brown eyes glow in the bright light.
So does her mothers; who is busy blowing her nose and dabbing away tears of joy yet again. Mother dear, is proud of herself and her baby. She always believed that she knew what is best for her girl and she is taking some part of the good wishes for playing a major role in the matchmaking from the onset.
It’s been a year and three months of intense courtship with Humphrey and today is their wedding day. It had taken several unsuccessful, blind online efforts and an accidental date to find her man.
Who knew that her Prince was the proverbial boy next door or as the case may be, the boy in the Church.
She recalls the near times that she almost blew him off. The time that she was sure she had caught him cheating on her, but it turned out that the glimpse of tenderness that she saw through the jewelry windows was actually not what it seemed.
Her plan to confront him and get to the bottom of the cheating matter went askew when she arrived his birthday party only to see her supposed rival in a close clinch with Humphrey’s mother. She knew the Vicar’s wife did not cotton up to any nonsense and wouldn’t be in support of Humphrey’s dilly-dallying ways.
It was an immense relief to sidle up in the pretext of greeting her boyfriend’s mother and she got introduced to the exquisite beautiful lady of the jewelry store, who turned out to be an out-of-state favourite niece. The necklace that Humphrey was clasping around her neck was a belated birthday gift.
Her surprise was complete when the birthday party turned out to be an engagement party of sorts.
The young man bit the bullet, went down on his knees in front of family and friends and proposed so sweetly that she was saying yes and crying all at the same time.
She admires the gorgeous gleaming single cut diamond stone on her finger for the millionth time, while her ladies -in-waiting fuss around her. It’s almost time to go to the chapel.
We are getting married.
The End.
