Stools of wood and cheese
Alice opened Lepus’s passenger side door and jumped out with a spring in her step as she bounded up to her house.
Lepus opened the driver side door. Waiting for Alice to bound up to her front door. She spun around smiling to face him. Standing barefooted on in the driveway, wearing a flowery summer dress. Lepus walked up the path towards the grand old house. The gravel made a loud crunching noise under his feet.
“You seemed in such a hurry, why did you stop?” he chimed as he got close enough for her to touch.
She beamed, “Because I wanted to look at you.”
After a moment, Alice laughed and jumped forward into his arms. Her cotton green summer dress bouncing around him as she did. Brushing her hand through the back of his short blonde hair she kissed his neck.
Then grabbed his hand and spun around and began skipping up the front stairs.
They fell onto their bed together, and she buried her face into his chest. “I have to go soon,” he said.
“I know,” she grumbled.
“Tell me something sweet” she begged, squeezing him.
“Molasses” he declared chuckling,
She kneed him in his side and groaned.
“Tell me something true” she moaned as she shut her eyes tight.
“You’re beautiful” he whispered, into her ear.
“Tell me a lie,” he said, standing up.
“I don’t love you,” she said with a big smile, looking up at him.
He looked down at her smiling as he put on his jumper, “good night” he said and walked to the door.
He stood in the threshold, feeling her eyes burning a hole in the back of his head. He couldn’t contain his smile as he looked over his shoulder. “I love you too.”
