A Whisper And A Word..by Michael

Sometimes less really means so much more. Margaret met Jonathan on a long line waiting to get into a movie theater one Saturday night. They stood next to each other instead of one behind and one in front. A few words were exchanged with simple one word answers. Their eyes smiled at each other as both knew what was meant to be said. They held hands as if they already knew one another for a long time. It was an unexpected night where both thought they would be alone, but instead sat next to each other this Saturday evening.

The dating process began and lasted for two years until Jonathan proposed marriage to Margaret. It was a simple one word answer to a four word question as she said yes. At the wedding there was a whisper and a word between them every now and then, private moments which only they understood followed by smiling eyes.

The married couple celebrated with food and drinks in their room and soon it was time to go to bed. A dream started a long time ago while standing on a line one Saturday night. Before going to sleep, something signified when less really means so much more. Between Jonathan and Margaret it was just a whisper and a word....
