“I never thought this day would end. I’m so happy you’re with me tonight.” Sandy took off her jewellery and stretched her petite body. She wiped off her makeup telling him about the handsome couple she had met in the morning.

 

He was used to her nightly rituals and waited patiently on the bed.

 

After a quick shower she snuggled upto him under the quilts.

“Water.. alarm.. phone..” She checked everything was in its place before switching off the lights.

“Good night my sweetheart.” She said with a kiss.

“…I wish I may, I wish I might
I wish my wish comes true tonight.”

Then again, she knew the poets immortalized her in their words.
