PHOTO PROMPT -© Vijaya Sundaram
“I love you,” he whispered. Fireworks exploded in her heart and a soppy grin tiptoed across her face.
“I love you too, you know.” Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.
“I do know that, but I want you to know just how much you mean to me.” She felt herself dissolve into his embrace.
His friends and family had received her into their lives warmly, glad to see he had found pleasure in life again after a tempestuous marriage.
She was thankful to have escaped her past and never thought she would trust a man again, but she did, wholeheartedly.

Nice sweet tale. The prompt seems to split into stories of explosions of love and explosions of war. I’m glad this is a happy one!

Yeah, a nonviolent take on this week’s photo prompt. I am thrilled.
I do wonder about her past, wonder what had happened to her.

Dear Clare,
It’s nice to see that love was sweet for him the second time around. We did use similar descriptions, didn’t we? Nicely done and great minds think alike. 😉
Shalom,
