MY EIGHT:
With that he was
out of the door before Clare even had time to close her mouth, which was still gaping
open in surprise.
She had to hand
it to Jake, the man was resourceful.
By the time Jake
returned Clare was coming round to the idea and was rummaging through the
wrapping paper looking for other things to play with.
“I got Silver.”
Jake said holding a really long garland out in font of him, “l thought that it
would contrast nicely with your golden hair.”
He held it

“I have
something for you too!” Clare exclaimed not wanting to be outdone.

ReplyDeleteDelightful with endless possibilities. Good snippet.

ReplyDeleteOoh, can't wait to see what she found for him, imagination running rampant here LOL. Great 8!

ReplyDeleteTinsel and Lights? Where's the mistletoe and where should it be hung? Oh boy!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really curious as to what she found for him. Great snippet!
