Stella was surprised to
see Justin arrive. She hadn’t expected him until after seven, but it was lovely
all the same. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.
Justin held her and
moved his face for a kiss on the lips. Then he hugged her tight.
“I’m sorry about
Mercury,” he whispered against her lips.
Stella nodded.
They walked into her
house, and she offered Justin coffee, but he pulled her close and leaned
against the kitchen table with her standing between his legs.
“When did you discover
him gone?” Justin asked, because he wanted her to talk through her sadness.
“This morning when I
went out there with my coffee to talk to him he’d vanished. I called the police
and they came about an hour later. They don’t hold out much hope of getting him
back for me, although they were kind.” Stella’s sigh rang with sorrow.
Justin hugged
her. He put a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed it. Then he kissed her
lips gently before he answered. Faced with her sadness he felt wretched about
stealing Mercury away from her.
“We’ll get you
something else, and in fact I’ve brought you something already to cheer up the
empty place where Mercury used to be. Come out to my car. Let’s get it.”
Stella smiled softly at
him. “Justin, that’s so kind of you.”
He got the big frog out
of the back of the SUV, and the pot of pink daisies, which he gave to Stella to
carry as he closed the back of the car up.
“Justin, this is
lovely. Flowers and a frog” Stella smiled in delight and kissed him before they
walked down the side path to her back garden.
Once
there, Justin placed the frog next to the pond, and Stella put the big pot of
pink daisies on her patio paving before she walked down to the pond. She
watched Justin angle the frog so that it looked as if the frog was leaping into
the water.
He looked at her for
approval as he stood back.
Stella went to him and
put her arm around his waist. “Justin, thank you this is such a kind thing to
do. The frog and the flowers are lovely,” she told him again.
Justin turned to her
and crushed her against him because he loved her, and he was so sorry about
what he’d done to Mercury.
