"Here you
go," Leo handed me a cup of hot chocolate, "I hope you don't mind
marshmallows."
"Oh, thank
you!" Wrapping my fingers around the warm mug, I smiled at him. It was
freezing today, and the falling snow stacking up on the roads made it impossible
to drive anywhere.
He smiled back,
"No problem," I noticed he had a cup of his own as sat on the floor
beside me.
"Thanks for
starting the fire too." I gestured to the orange and red flames in the
fireplace.
He laughed
slightly embarrassed, "No problem, it's just one of those days, so I
figured why not!?"
"Yep."
I sipped my hot chocolate and sighed, "It's definitely one of those
days."
"What? Are
you saying you don't like these kinds of days?"
"Yes, and
no." I struggled to decide, "Because, I love the sun, and being able
to run around bare foot. Eating ice cream and swimming! But..." Glancing
out the window, I saw the storm was getting worse, "Sometimes, it can be sort
of fun to just sit by the fire and drink hot cocoa with you."
"Hmmm,
well," He fished out a marshmallow and popped it into his mouth ,
"I'll do my best."
"Your
best?" I asked puzzled, "Best to do what?"
"To make
this fun!" He took a big swig of hot chocolate, but without meaning to, it
left a mustache on his face.
I had to giggle
at how silly it looked, "Oh Leo, you don't even have to try."
