Cupid's Arrow

Poem was having a gret time with Sparhawk and their little family outing. Shae was following behind them, her reluctance still obvious but she looked like she was warming up to the idea of the massive crowds. There were smiles, laughter, puppies running around beneath their feet. There were only a couple of things missing from such a perfect day. She could feel Rhyme’s love warm on her back as the dappled sun shone down on their games.

She wore a sad smile as she approached the booth, but her heart stopped when she caught sight of someone she had willed into non existence. Noir’s backside hogged the booth. Thankful he wouldn’t have an opportunity she ducked out of the way and played the game further away from a man she never wanted to see again. Poem took her dart, and imagining Noir’s head superimposed over the balloon, she threw.
