Love in the Limelight

Thinking about it, Gracie took off quietly.

The night fell silent again. Roman had already snoozed off, and Astrid carried him to the bedroom. Then, she picked up her phone and scrolled through some tweets.

Hashtags related to Elio’s confession were still trending. Surprisingly, no one seemed to have an opinion on Elio’s matter tonight. She was a bit confused about what they were thinking.

Christmas was coming soon.

Dale had helped her to turn down work for the near future, so she had a good, long sleep at home. When she woke up the next day, Roman was still sound asleep. She tiptoed out of bed and looked at the foggy window.

The temperature was even lower than yesterday. She turned the heater up a bit, walked out of the room, and from the living room window, she saw the blue roses on the opposite building.

She walked a few steps forward and saw that the square was full of blue roses. There were a few words in between: Happy Birthday, Astrid.

There was a figure standing among the flowers. She couldn’t see his face, but from his silhouette, she knew it was Elio.

Neighbors from the adjacent buildings were taking pictures from their windows, and there was a buzz of discussion upstairs and downstairs. Some girls even started arguing with their boyfriends.
