Who: Belle and Adam Where: Their apartment What: Happy news. When: Backdated to Friday Open: no Warnings: None.
Belle picked up a decorative pillow off the sofa, stuffed it under her shirt and looked in the mirror with a smile. It was a nice little preview of her future. She moved the pillow back to the sofa, not wanting to spoil the surprise for Adam. Not yet. She'd sent him on an errand to bring home dinner from Lacey's. She'd placed a special order for the favorite dishes from home and had set the table with a few candles. The perfect romantic table, but there was no bottle of wine. She'd already stopped drinking when they started trying, just in case. Adam wouldn't want to drink alone; surely that wouldn't give away her surprise. The smile on her face might though. She lit the candles on the table and turned off the main lights, perhaps dimmer lighting would hide it.
