//------------------------------// // Wednesday― // Story: Her Eyes Reflect The Stars // by Lynwood //------------------------------// Wednesday― I had a good day today! It started like any other weekday. I was up first today because Steady worked overtime shifts yesterday had today off. No early fishery for him! Still, he held on to me as I tried to get out of bed. He kept saying he wanted his 'personal bedwarmer to come back for five more minutes. I may have even obliged him― I can't help it! That stallion just knows how to be cute! Symphony ate all her breakfast without complaining about it once! She's still riding out the excitement of getting her cutie mark, even after two weeks. On our walk to school, she told me all about how her little friend Leaf Shine was soooo impressed! It must be nice to be the very first in your class to get a cutie mark! She must get that from her father because I was one heck of a late bloomer myself. I thought I'd never get it, but there goes my little filly, flaunting that viola cutie mark around like it'll disappear if she doesn't. It's still too cute to be annoying. We got there a quarter-hour early so I took the opportunity to chat with Sand Slate about Symphony's performance in school. He says she's doing well on the homework, and she's making progress on her little daydreaming problem. He also told me about how she actually broke up a fight in the play yard the other day! I was so proud of my little Symphony that I grinned the whole way home. When I got back Steady was up, and guess what? He surprised me by saying he wanted to go on a walk on the beach! He's usually too worn-out on his days off, but going on a romantic walk on the beach on a weekend? I'm impressed. We spent the rest of the morning on the shore, walking and enjoying the season. We even went for a little swim! Afterward, we got lunch at Clean Cut's place, even though it's a little pricy. We haven't been on a date for a while, so it was really nice to spend some bits on a nice day out! I got the number four (of course, how could I get anything else?) and it was so good that I was actually a little bummed out when I finished! We went back home and spent a little time together while mother and Symphony were both out, and then we relaxed with one another while I worked on the quilt some more. Then we went to pick up Symphony together. She was so excited to get picked up by her mommy and her daddy that she showed us off to all her friends. She's really so sweet. When we got home, I found mother already cooking! She said she wanted to surprise me by making my favorite soup from when I was little. I tried to help her make it but she insisted on doing it herself, and by the goddess, it was amazing. I was even sadder about finishing that one! In the evening Steady volunteered to help our filly with her homework so I finally, finally got to put some real work into the quilt. And guess what? I finished it! After all this time! It's really warm (and expertly crafted, if I do say so myself) and I couldn't wait to give it to Symphony. I even tucked her into it! Like I said, today was a really good day. I'll see you tomorrow, journal! ―Silk Stream
