Just for you

It was good to surprise those you love at times.  Rudy had killed two rabbits late afternoon as he planned a surprise for Fern.  Sure, they weren’t anything impressive but they fit his plan for the evening. The detail of his plan that took the most work finding a good size stone, not overly tall but wide and then hauling it over to the beach. Both the rabbits were set on it, one on each side.  After that he fetched some large branches, coating a top portion of them with oil and tying dry grass up top that would burn well.  The makeshift torches were stood upright on the beach on either side of his table.

There wasn’t much wind tonight so Rudy imagined he could add another touch to his plan and had Reddy bring back a bunch of flowers the bird grabbed from who knew where.  The flowers were arranged on either side of his table.  Rudy waited and as the sun was just about to start setting he called for Fern.

He didn’t explain why, it was just a request that she come and meet him on the beach.  Hopefully, she enjoyed the surprise of a meal at sunset, watching the sun sink under the horizon with the beach beside them.
