658 : The Offering


The Offering.
Christmas Eve, 2013.

I was busy,
Engrossed 
In my work.
She appeared 
Unannounced
And handed me
A home-made
Chocolate mousse.
“It’s for you” she said.
An embarrassed smile,
A surprised ‘thank you’
And she was gone.

  4. I want your job, my employees never give me chocolates of any description, mind you they've made dinner before. I shouldn't moan.
