They often walked together. There’s was a special friendship yet neither was sure if the other harboured deeper feelings; both nervous to express their heartfelt thoughts should it damage the perfect companionship they so relished.
The rain pitter-pattered as they strolled. Puddles gathered along the path. As they stepped over them he wondered if he dared offer her his hand. What if I was to grasp his she wondered?
They sought shelter beneath a blossoming tree and glanced into each other’s eyes. Then, instead of raindrops, they were showered with dancing pink petals. No words passed their lips, they would only have spoilt that blissful moment.
Thanks to Susan Spaulding for hosting Sunday Photo Fiction and to Fandango for this week’s picture.

You’re welcome Keith
delightful romance 🙂 and like the p words
Haha! I’m so pleased you liked it – and them!
😊💛
What are you all about?
Pass the tissues
Don’t worry, it’s a one off!
Perfectly sappy, makes me perfectly happy!
I thought I’d try a rhyming reply – but I couldn’t! Cheers Mimi.
This is lovely…and then the cynic in me says that with all of their not wanting to spoil things, they’ll never get together.
If it’s meant to be, it will be! Thanks Sascha
Hi Keith – delightful … thank goodness people can still stop beneath the petal loosing blossom tree … cheers Hilary
I’m so pleased you liked it Hilary
Yes … when one’s out and about the petals are falling it’s rather pretty. I think I spelt loosing wrong and it should be losing! Early morning …?! Wonderful day today, though windy here … enjoy the week …
Sappy, soppy, syruppy! Hey pass the Kleenex, will you! Good writing Keith
Not my normal style so I’m glad it worked! Thanks Neel.
Driving home yesterday I saw all those maple flowers and pollen lining the roads and it set off my allergies. Teary eyes, dripping nose…how romantic, lol.
Oh dear – I hope my tale didn’t have a similar effect!
That was a lovely story, for a change. So many have shocking endings, so it’s nice to read (and write) feel-good stories… must be spring:)
I like a happy ending although I admit to not writing enough. Spring it is!
A fun romance can be a cherished read 🙂
Beautifully put! Thanks Jules.
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. Beautifully done.
Indeed it does. Tanks Abhijit
Cherry Blossom, a moment to cherish. Even if you are not into love stories
All it took was a bit of blossom to send me soppy! Cheers Mike
Love the water reflection image! How wonderful, and pretty on all of them! Nebraska – where I live is more grasses than flowers. Not as pretty. It is cool where there are hills of it. – An Apel a Day
In a a couple of weeks it’s back to grass again, but it’s lovely while it lasts.! Thanks Alissa
