LEAP OF LOVE
“You’ve GOT to be kidding!”
“Shhhh, you’ll wake your parents.”
“Good. Then they’ll be awake to plan the funeral.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Annette. You knew we’d have to do something unconventional to sneak you out without their knowing. What’d you expect?”
“Fool that I am, I expected a ladder, of course!”
“Shhh! All right! Forget it. I should have eloped with Bernadette when she begged me.”
He climbed back over the balcony rail and jumped onto the hay-filled tractor bed.
He looked at her, his heart aflame in his eyes.
Her own heart leaped over the balcony, and she had no choice but to follow.

Priceless Sandra!
Thanks. After Victoria and Arnold, I thought I needed just a straightforward love story.
Ha. yes I can understand the hesitation.. but look what happened to Juliet…
I loved that last line, great job 🙂
Thank you and thanks for letting me know.
🙂 If the hay was baled, that would be a hard landing!!

Yes, well, I admit I took a little liberty with the picture and pretended my hay was just heaped on there.
A fun story!
Leap of faith as well. true love 😉
Dear Sandra,
I suppose if the hay was high enough she wouldn’t have far to leap. I love the last line. And what a story they’ll have to tell their children and grandchildren. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
