Bite-Size Luna
I pull my mum into a tight hug, “I’m sorry I took so long.”
She returns my hug and strokes my hair affectionately, “You were worth the wait,” she says, pulling back to smile at me, “Now don’t let me hold you up, you have a date to get to,” she says enthusiastically.
“Don’t want to keep my girl waiting,” I wink, walking over and picking up the single-stemmed white rose from the bed.
“You should remove the thorns,” suggests my mum.
I shake my head smiling at the flower, “I’m keeping them on, it represents Sorrell better this way. Beautiful and delicate, yet guarded and dangerous. That’s her to a tee.”
