Savings

He was on his way to buy her a present when it happened.

The shops were busy, it being only a week before Christmas. The idea of what to get her came to him some time earlier when he called in at her place.

As the couple moved through the crowd below he confirmed that it was definitely him. He stood and watched as they navigated their way through the shoppers, with him now with his arm around her waist and her cuddling up close and still laughing.

Anyway, that was the way it was.
