Written for Weekend Writing Prompt #380 and
Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge where the required words
are ‘auction’ and ‘lilac’. In exactly 78 words, here is my story.

My husband came home from grocery shopping and after putting away the ice cream said to me, “I stopped by the Chatsworth Auction House. Look what I found.”

He handed me a small box; inside were vintage lilac gemstone and silver filigree earrings.

I started to cry … tears come easy … and he asked “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. They’re perfect” I sobbed. “Just like the ones I lost years ago.”

“I remember” he whispered and kissed my head.
