Tinù sighed as he gazed out the window. His loneliness had crept back in, making him feel small and his arm feel empty. He wanted to hold a family in them, a family he had created himself. It hadn’t worked out so far, nothing but troublesome males entering and exiting his life. Like he was some kind of revolving door.He was staring at his barren bushes outside, contemplating this situation when his email dinged from his computer. He shook his mood aside for the moment and went to check. It could be important news. He clicked into his email and the headline immediately grabbed his attention. He opened it up and started perusing the message. This was good. This was very good. Maybe he could meet his Prince Charming here and start a family, all at the same time.
He’d go to this party, and he’d imbue a stone or three or ten with some of the others there. Hopefully he’d meet the man of his dreams while he was at it too. He grabbed his phone, his coat and his scarf, giving one last look at his barren rosebush as he walked out the door and towards his future children.
