Trifextra: Courage

This post is in response to Trifecta's Trifextra Weekend Challenge. This weekend they asked us to do the following: 

"In celebration of Moon Day we want you to write 33 words about someone who took a giant leap.  It can mean whatever you'd like, just make sure you write exactly 33 words." 

Courage

They sat close. His smell was intoxicating. She was trembling slightly while her courage grew.  He, ever the gentleman, sat watching the movie. She, having to know, leaned in to him. And LEAP!

  1. The leap was unexpected and funny! I enjoyed this. I wrote a piece on the same subject for the Trifecta Week 35 Challenge, with the guy being the one to make the move.

  2. Well done, Mel! I knew you would get it in under the wire!
    I love that he is watching (I am guessing pretending to watch) the movie, and she is the one to leap. Beautiful!

  3. I agree with Betty. I wonder how much of the movie he was watching. :-) Great job with the prompt. I'm loving the idea of new love this weekend. Thanks for linking up.

    1. I later found out, he was building up his courage, too. I just struck first. I'm glad I did...and married him 4 years later. :)
