“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” White Rabbit’s words echoed in Vincent’s mind. He picked up his pace through the tunnels as he hurried to Catherine’s balcony.

Upon arrival, a little out of breath, he found Catherine waiting for him. The night was chilly. Catherine rubbed her arms for warmth. He immediately removed his cloak and draped it over her shoulders. Her smile warmed him.

“Your cloak looks especially sparkly tonight.”

Vincent looked at her. She raised her arm inside the cloak. Tiny pieces of glitter that were caught on his cloak, glowed in the moonlight.

You know…glitter travels and it sticks.
