Short story—29 DEC 2011

She woke up in a hurry, with plenty of time but her heart beat like crazy. She took a shower -soft lavender soap, coconut oil and baby shampoo- taking great care to let her hair fall just right, tangled enough to show the waves in her hair.

Breakfast, dressing, make up all done slowly, not that she wore a lot rather applying it mindfully slow, stopping herself from rushing to the cold, being too early for the train but knowing it would happen anyway. A slightly oversized sweater, a colorful scarf, purposefully securing a locket around her neck, checking on the charms on her wrist she takes one last glance in the mirror… will he like it?

One last check of her bag, the long ride ahead on her mind, a letter to write, a drawing to finnish, a book to read, she wishes she was more tired, but her heart beats on, unable to wait any longer she steps past the door with a smile at odds with the gloomy weather.
