I stood doing the table watching the snow falling across the beach till there was the little knock on my door

"its open" I laughed

"hello darling" lampwick smiled as he came in brushing snow off his clothes

"Hello" I smiled giving him a kiss "I was starting to worry"

"Sorry, I had to go on a little diversion the main street flooded and iced over so I had to go around" he explained

"Ohh my poor baby, your frozen" I complain as I gave him a cuddle "you get warm by the fire I need to check on the bird"

"Alright darling" he smiled going over to my fireplace and throwing another couple of logs on the fire

"How was work lampwick?" I asked

"Ohh alright, not to bad I suppose" he shrugs

"You alright?" I asked

"Hummm?
