Gallivanting

My Mum does not like me gallivanting midweek, but you to me are so unique I take the chance. I acquiesce to your request to meet down the street, precarious as the descend may be from the cherry tree in full bloom, glimmering in the shimmering moon. Outside my room. I'm smitten 'though I ain't admittin', so I act all cool and nonchalant at our rendezvous. It's obvious I lack finesse I guess. You don't seem to mind as we entwine. I'm in ecstasy. That is until I hear Mum call out. "In in a minute Mum" I shout. One last kiss.x 10/05/2018

I'm so pleased Emile. Thank you for the placement. I love that word "gallivanting". We use it a lot here in Ireland.
