Can't Help Falling in Love

"So...um..."

I blinked in surprise as my sweetheart turned from our embrace to reach into a drawer behind him and carefully withdraw something from inside. When he turned to face me again a moment later he was holding a small music box in his hand. With a deepening blush and a bashful smile, he held it out for me to see and explained, "I made this for you."

"Oh!"

A soft smile touched my lips and I felt myself blush as well. I was touched by this sweet gesture of his! I smiled up at him with surprise and curiosity.

"Thank you! But what's this for? It's not my birthday!"

He laughed softly and slid his arm around my shoulders. He explained, "No, I know. I just wanted to give you a reason to smile."

"But you always give me a reason to smile!" I exclaimed with a soft laugh. Pulling my gaze from his I returned my attention to the small music box. Reaching up, I gently turned the crank all the way and let it play. And as I did, I opened the box and gazed inside.

My heart began to melt as I saw the little details of the two small male figures that resembled us dancing under a painted sky of twinkling stars, the moon, and a shooting star.

"Thank you. This is so beautiful..."

And as I leaned my head against his shoulder, I brought my hand to my chest. There was no doubt about it. I know we'd only known each other a short time and we shouldn't rush anything...but I couldn't help but find myself falling in love...
