A Courting Gift
Name: Clare
Story: star magic
Colors: Tyrian Purple 4, golden apple; Heart Gold 14, Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own. - Emanuel Swedenborg
Supplies and Materials: Bichromatic, miniature, canvas
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Notes: Doing some backstory work for this year's Nano. Apparently, this is how the main character's parents first started courting. Also, apparently it's a closer earth-analogue than I was planning, if they have the same classical mythology!
To the fairest.
Kate stared at the apple as she pulled off her muffler. That was all: an apple, and three words. No card, no other note.
“Lottie?” she called. The maid appeared almost instantly. “Who brought this?”
Lottie shook her head. “I know him not, mistress. He not leave a name. He only bring apple and say it for you.”
Of course it was for her. There was no other woman in the household, after all. And certainly no other who would have recognized the classical reference.
To the fairest.
Kate picked up the apple and began to laugh.
Mods, I suppose I should have a tag for my new story!
