Finally, morning
Finally, morning. I said while getting up from the bed. I got everything I needed to do for this morning chores. I walked up to my calendar, and put an x for yesterday, for I had forgotten. I sigh only one more day before the Christmas ball. I smiled before taking my winter coat on and walking out into the morning breeze. I breathe deeply as the cold air filled my lungs. I walked up to the shed to get the shovel, hearing the sounds of crunching snow beneath my feet as I slowly moved towards the approaching cabin.
As I shovelled the pathway of the palace, my mind kept on wondering of when, where and most certainly how? How should I express myself to her? When will it be the right moment? Where should I take place the scenery?
Sigh, too many questions, I must take a brake.
Finally, I finished my work. I looked around at the now empty path way, while the white snow started to cover it up again. 'Guess I better come back in about a few hours.' I thought as I walked back to the shed.
I came back out too find the path way once again covered with snow but not as much. Sigh, I best be coming back in a few minutes.
''Darien?''
I turned around to find a woman with grey hair tied up in a messy bun, she was around in her fifty's and her long blue working dress at the bottom was covered in brown mush.
I smiled brightly at her, grateful she past by to see me.
''Hello, Mrs. Gray.'' I said as I gave her a gently hug. ''How's Mr Gray doing?'' I asked, releasing her.
''He's doing better than before, my daughter is taking care of him right now.'' She said smiling. ''But I came here to ask you for a favour.'' She said while her smile became a frown.
''Yes, of course.'' I said.
''Would you mind, checking up on my husband? I wanted to ask the doctor of the town but he's become to expensive for my range of price, so I came to see you, hopefully you would help an old woman in distress?''
I grinned at her. ''It would be a pleasure to help you Mrs. Gray, after everything you've done for me, I couldn't refuse.''
Her smile came back as she took my hand and led me to her place. ''Good! Now hurry up don't want to waste time on a dying man!''

''Well, Mr Gray, your perfectly fine in your condition and especially in this weather. You'll be fine.'' I said as I finished the check up and started preparing to leave until Mrs. Gray stopped me.
''Dear, don't you want too take a brake and have supper with us? It's awfully cold out now and I don't want you to catch a cold.'' She said looking at me, hopping that I would stay. I looked outside to see the wind blowing heavily. I turned my head back to her and said ''I'd love too.'' With a smile.

Dinner was amazing, Mrs Gray's cooking was marvellous, better than what I have each night. I spent the night there talking whatever was on my mind and knowing how she was doing.
''So, Darien, have you found the one?'' Mrs Gray asked me.
''What do you mean by the 'one'?'' I asked confused.
''The right woman! My god Darien you may be smart, but not in these cases!'' she laughed.
I felt my cheeks burn up as I understood. ''Well…''
''Come on you can tell me, I'm practically your mother! You know you can tell me anything.''
''Exactly, like my mother…''I muttered.
''What?'' She implied.
''Nothing!'' I quickly recovered and started to tell her who I've had my eye on for a few…years.
''Oh my, Serena Peers? Isn't she engaged?''
''I know! That's the problem, the fiancé is almost always by her side I can never tell her!''
She stopped to think over the situation. I started to speak again.
''I was thinking of telling her the Christmas ball tomorrow. Do you think that it's better then or not?''
She smiled ''I say…go for it.''
