I lift myself out of the cocoon i’ve made for myself in my bed. I wipe my tear stained face when I see him sleeping on the floor beside me. why is he here? I quickly fly out of my bed down to his side.

“Lucas, why are you here?” I whisper just loud enough for it to jolt him out of his slumber.

“Hi, Isabel. Your mum told me you were upset so I thought I would come over.”

“I thought you had work?”

“Told them it was an emergency, which it is. I wanted to see my baby.”

I feel warm blush rises into my cheeks. I look at him and see he has the brightest of all smiles on his face. he opens his arms for me to climb in and I do. I hear him let out a deep sigh as if he had been waiting all at to hug me.

“I have a surprise for you. I had a conversation with the universe told them you were upset so they granted you a wish.” I perk up as I’ve always had a love for surprises. “Well you know how you have never seen snow but have dreamt of it for as long as i’ve known you. today’s the day.”

“but it’s the middle of july?”

“Well that didn’t stop the universe. come on let’s get you geared up first.” I look around my room and realise all the curtains are drawn stopping me from seeing the outside world.

he comes into the room with two puffer jackets and a hoodie.

he hands me the hoodie. it’s his hoodie. his warm smell engulfs me. and then I put on the puffer jacket. I can feel warmth being trapped within the jacket.

before I even know it I’m being pulled out of the room and we’re running through the halls of my house. we run down the stairs and straight to the front door.

Lucas puts his hand on the door handle but pauses. “prepare to be amazed!”

he swings it open showing the white wonderland that I always read about in books. my heart hammers out my chest as I feel glued to the wooden flooring. it’s better than people say it is. it’s like the perfect land. my mind start putting together a story land of an ice princess when I feel something so frosty collide with my face. I hear Lucas erupt into laughter. I sprint towards him nearly falling multiple times. I pick up the snow, cold pinching my fingertips, and dart at him it hitting him bang on in the forehead. we continue to throw snowballs at each other till I collapse onto the snow, my arms and legs spread. I begin to move them and I feel Lucas plop down beside me. we just lay there.

This is the best day ever
