[Chandra Moonfire]

---

Chandra had dropped bits of red cloth along the path leading to the little house beside the water, where she and her husband Socrates had lived for almost year .

They were going to celebrate tonight but not their wedding. They would celebrate the night Socrates proposed to Chandra. She thought back to that night and how wonderful it had been, surrounded by friends and to have the man she adored bend a knee to her and ask her to be his bride. She had blushed furiously and with tears of happiness in her eyes consented.

Socrates was the man for her she was sure then and just as sure now. She set up a little table with wine and candles on the balcony off of their bedroom. She sat and listened to the water lick the shoreline waiting to hear Socrates’ footfalls. When he arrived she waited for him to find her on the balcony. From the smile and shine in his eyes, she knew he was pleased with what she had done. He sat and they talked of their day. When he offered her wine she accepted but only a sip. He looked at her and asked if she was afraid of getting tipsy. She laughed and put her wine goblet aside.

She put her small hand in Socrates’ large one and with bated breath announced that in the summer she would give birth to their first child.
