Penny For the Guy

On a cold autumn eve, playful fingers tangled, soft and shy. The smell of hot chestnuts wafted through the milling crowd, a promise of comfort and warmth. We watched, you and I, the skies explode as rockets declared their secret desires. Catherine wheels danced a dizzying response while the bang of crackerjacks echoed, spilling smoke quick into the night. "Penny for the guy?", they cried. Sparklers lit, searching lips, the most tender touch. We kissed, my heart reflected in your eyes.

A perfect description of a wonderful fireworks display with a romantic twist. Yes, watching them with a lover is so much more beautiful and memorable. Love this. A FAV for sure. And, congrats on your placement, Leileah.
