Thanks again to selene2 for requesting Ethan + postcard I have another drabble and this one fits nicely into the Days of Blood and Wine series using the prompt 'colourful'

Title: Like the Blue of Your Eyes
Prompt: #55 Colourful
Pairing: Giles/Ethan
Word count: 100
Rating: G


Days of Blood and Wine series can be read in chronological order HERE or from the prompts table HERE


Please Note: This series is interwoven with my Spuffy fic Duty Bound and for this reason there are some instalments where for the purpose of continuity the text or part thereof is taken directly from Duty Bound



Like the Blue of Your Eyes


His hand hovered over the post box, the brightly coloured card held loosely, poised at the opening.

The picturesque beach with its azure waters and blinding white sand was somehow too perfect—almost surreal despite the reality of those crystalline waves crashing onto the manicured beach only yards away from where he stood.

The salt tang had brought memories crashing back—a different beach and simpler, happier times, and it was that foolish nostalgia that had led to his purchase. With a curse Ethan shredded the card and dropped the fragments in a nearby bin.

There was no going back.

Wow! It is sad that I am down to only one Giles icon in the batch. Don't mind the Ganya.


I am thrilled that I bullied prompted you into another drabble from this wonderful series.

Drabbles are fun (if very challenging) and your drabbles are always a wonderful read. How you pack so much into 100 spare words I'll never figure out.

*hugs*

You'll break my poor Ethan's heart! lol

Thanks for the challenge, sweetie... it got the muse up off his butt for a little while.
