Because at Christmas you tell the truth
Who: Delos and Nicola
When: 13.30
Where: Nicola's home
What: Delos has come to give Nicola a small gift
Delos had spent some time thinking over the last few days, well he wasn't sleeping too well so he may as well think. He had his store, which he really needed to get someone in for, and after the holidays he was going to work as the high schools counsellor and it was about time he told the woman of his dreams he liked her! Because it was Christmas and at Christmas you tell the truth... he'd seen that in a movie somewhere he was sure of it.
So he walked almost confidently towards Nicola's home, now all he needed to do was not stutter and not giggle like a school girl and all would be fine. Unless she didn't like him, that would be bad. And then he'd embarrass himself and then possibly die... Nope those were bad thoughts, only good ones were allowed. He could do this. He was such a looser.
Of course had he known about the sickness that had entered town the night before and that Nicola had been close to it he may be bringing her soup and blankets instead, just incase. But he didn't so he brought a single large, long, wild red rose, with with white and red ribbon cross crossed up the stem ending in a bow half way up.
He took a deep breath, moment of truth, hide one hand containing the rose behind his back and knocked on the door. He could still run away right!?
