A quote: “This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.” ~~ C. S. Lewis

“You saved a special spot on the tree,” there was a smile in his voice.
“Of course!” Silvered, blown glass. Once placed she stepped back to admire. “Your first gift for our first Christmas.”
“How has it survived all these years?”

“Granddaughters are different. One day, this’ll be her’s.”
His lips warm on her forehead. The reflection in the ornament was only of her, but he was with her all the same.
