“Sorry, I didn’t realise you were wearing those shoes,” he said as they were walking.
Her feet were killing her. It’d been ages since going on a real date, so she dressed up and put on her favourite heels; four-inch heels, what was she thinking!
She didn’t want to say anything just because they ended up walking instead of driving. She saw he was trying; he even apologised.
Leaving the theatre, the rain was pouring. Looking at her shoes, then each other, he smiled and gestured to give her a piggyback. Smiling, she knew he still loved her.

The Sparkle of Fate on the Mountain Slope
Lina was a young girl who lived in a small village near the mountains. Her village was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by green fields and tall trees. The mountains stood behind the village like silent guardians. Lina loved those mountains more than anything else. She often dreamed that one day they would change her life.
