Theme # 17: Imperio
Nothing Like a Hug


Yes.

She had said yes.

It was sort of, Gold could not help thinking, David's luck that she was single, at the time he had asked her if she would be his girlfriend. Because, to be honest, it was not often that she was.

Did she love him? Well, love was a strong word. Gold was pretty sure she had never fallen in love. Not yet, at least. But like, she certainly did. He was handsome, he was always up for a laugh, and he was good, healthy company, - and that, as far as Gold was concerned, was enough to guarantee that he would make a good boyfiend.

She pulled a bit closer to David now, as the two of them stepped into The Imperio - the new teashop was named after the Imperius Curse, David had told her and, frankly, that was sort of disturbing. But he had assured her the place attracted no indecent company.

Well, that was fine with her.

"Do you want coffee, or tea, Gold?" David asked, as he pulled up a chair for her, and she sat down. "Or both?" He grinned at that last, little question.

"I want a hug," she replied sweetly.
