Michael

Abby’s sapphire eyes blazed with shock and confusion, and Michael reacted, launching out toward her and once again catching her as she fell. It was easier this time, in his new-old body, and he scooped her up into his arms and pulled her close. She stared wide-eyed at his face, and he let the thrill of his true form burn happily through him.

“You’ve got to get hold of yourself, Love,” he said. “I know you fancy me and all, but you’re gonna crack your head open if you keep fainting at the sight of me.”

She reached out and touched his face. He turned his head and kissed her hand.

“Where’ve you been?” she whispered.

“Paying penance for my sin of greed. I’m so sorry I had to leave. The fairy king banished me for ten years, but the second they freed me I came as fast as I could.”

“Why didn’t you tell me who you were?”

“A condition of my curse. The monarchs wanted to know how serious I was about what I learned.” When she pulled his head toward hers, mesmerized, he only lightly grazed her lips with his own. First he said, “I’ve loved you forever, Abby.”

She burst into tears.

“Don’t cry,” he begged. “I never wanted you to cry. I’m so sorry, lass.”

He pulled her close and stroked her back with his hands. His lips sought hers, and their mouths tangled in the wonderful dance that became their first real kiss. Tiny lights glimmered all around, mostly at the edge of the property, but they moved closer while Michael and Abby kissed. Music struck up. The fairies played a string section, percussion, and woodwinds in their orchestra. The music grew as if it embodied a living thing, and the lawn and trees soon filled with dancing fairies. Michael and Abby hardly noticed. They kissed and held each other close, embracing, swaying slowly to the sounds of their hearts.

Finally they took a break. Michael wasn’t certain how far he wanted to go with a hundred dancing fairies watching his very first attempt at seduction. When he turned and motioned, Abby watched the dance troupe work up their routine. The sheer joy written in her expression caused him a goofy smile he could not shed.

They cleared away the remnants of their feast, and Abby lit candles against the impending dusk. Michael sat back down on the blanket and pulled her into his arms to watch.

“You were right,” she murmured. “Watching them together like this is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.”

Two fairies buzzed in and inspected their candles. They whispered about the ambient lighting.

After a short time, Michael stood up and offered Abby his hand. She took it, and the two of them danced on the lawn to the music. It reminded them both of their youth, and neither one spent any attention on the fairies. Lost in each other’s eyes, they let their hearts lead their footsteps.

When the last song was done, Michael scooped her into his arms and strode toward the house.
