When Christmas Comes Calling
Lea sat down on the lake, holding a candle. She brought some candy canes and some ornaments to decorate a tree near the lake.
Her beloved Paul had passed away last year. He went out for a swim with a couple of friends but never managed to come back.
"I asked santa to bring you back, darling, but santa is for children." Lea sighed as she decorated the tree. " I miss you sweetheart, wish you were here to celebrate with me. I'm still in love."
As she kneeled down to put a candle near the lake, a familiar face shined on the surface of the water.
"P..Paul?" She stuttered in awe. Paul's face smiled and nodded on the water. She felt an embrace from her back. She turned around, and it was her lover.
"You came back?"
"Just for today darling, it's Christmas. Guess what? I asked for the same thing too this Christmas..I wanted to see you."
Paul smiled as Lea hugged him tight, shook with gratefulness.
" We still have tonight." Lea grinned at him as she kissed him. The candle shined brighter than ever. "Indeed, sweetheart." He said kissing her eyes and lips.
