The young couple sat shyly, occasionally reaching out to hold each other’s hand. Ned cleared his throat nervously. Cindy glanced at him quickly then turned her gaze back to the lake.
“Sure is pretty here,†Ned stammered.
“I love it, too,†replied Cindy. “At night the loons calling makes me cry sometimes. They call to each other like lost lovers’ souls Nana used to tell me.â€
Ned struggled to stand up and again cleared his throat.
“Let’s make a pact! No matter what happens we can always come here to find each other. Young or old, I’ll wait for you.

The 100 Word Song challenge this week is I Will Wait – chosen by Kelly from the new Mumford and Sons album.
Welcome to the challenge, Kelly, and thanks for the song.
very romantic and sweet
I love the easy dialogue and natural feel. There aren’t enough Neds in the world. Good 100
This was very sweet. Your dialog, and character descriptions are wonderful, I can see this scene playing out.
I’ll echo the others. This was so sweet. Like when you see an old couple walking hand in hand 🙂
Beautiful as always. I wonder, was it a pact honored?
Great prompt submission for “I Will Wait.”
