Pic prompt 2- bridge on a frozen lake
He smiled at her, not being able to resist the stir he knew he’d triggered within her. He admitted to being a bit conceited - it was part of the reason for her breaking up with him in the first place - said she couldn’t cope with his self-centredness.
Well, he’d changed and was determined to win her back, he just didn’t know how. He grabbed the river pebble from his pocket and laughingly tossed it across the lake, knowing it was impossible to skip it like he’d do in summer because the ice resisted his toss... but it broke the ice between them.
@Dragonfly Oracle: I'm so pleased to see that you continued your story as well, though sadly I didn't read this before continuing it on yesterday's prompt. However, though the fit is a little rough, I think it all just about continues in the same theme! I hope you don't mind if I continue your continuation? :)
@Marc:Lovely picture; the shadow of the bridge on itself works very well, and the ice on the lake is beautiful. That's the kind of thing that makes being able to walk to these places all worthwhile :) By the way, I'm kind of hoping you join in with these continuations you know... ;-)
Continued... Literally broke the ice between them, with a sharp crack and an almost hollow-sounding plop. "Eight children is six too many," said Aubergine, looking at the hole in the ice and wondering if this was a metaphor. "We can adopt the rest," he said, and she suddenly realised that he genuinely thought this was what she wanted. "...We'll need another dog then, so the children can have two each," she tried.
Dragonfly - very much liked what you did with the pebble and the ice :)
Greg - I'm surprised your previous entry was out of sequence with this, as I think it fits in perfectly. And apologies for not joining in, time is limited right now. Plus being sick.
I really like the back and forth you're establishing between these two :)

Greg: ha, I don’t mind. This’ll be interesting (imagining your quirky take on a romance based theme).
