To

from

you

A
soothing
flame
shined brightly
from
his
kitchen
.
He
smelled
the
air
and
suddenly
had
a
craving
for
apple
pie
.
Slowly
his
eyes
zoomed
in
on
the
little
red
candle
in
the
frosted
glass
jar.
It
was
a
token
of
sorts.
It
reminded
him
of
her
presence
in
his
life
, however
dull
it
seemed
to
him
.
She
had
never
baked
a
pie
before
.
In
her
daydreams
she
saw
herself
in
their
cozy
kitchen
with
a
toddler tugging impatiently
on
her
pants
.
Some
specks
of
flour
would
be
on
her
cheeks
as
she
rolled
the
dough
for
the
crust.
The
apples
would
be
sweet
and
doused heavily
with
cinnamon
because
he
loved
it
so
much
.
She'd
finally
look
down
at
the
child
and
see
his
face
in
a
young
soul
. "It'll
be
ready
soon
,"
she'd
say
softly
.
The
candle's
life
finally
faded
away
.
He
cleaned
the
jar
and
kept
it
safely
with
his
other
mementos
of
years
long
gone
.
Somehow
ever
since
he
lit
that
little
candle
his
kitchen
has
maintained
the
scent
of
a
dream
yet
to
come
true
.
The
apple
pie
would
be
ready
soon
. "
Somehow
I'd
much
rather
see
her
face
speckled
with
flour,"
he
thought
, smirking.
