‘Brilliant work, but stupendous, isn’t a word,’ the teacher said. His jaw clenched, as his work got handed back. Stupendous was a word, in fact it was a great word. His mum used it all the time.

Lighting the candle, closed her eyes, and she remembered the times when they ate too much chocolate, drank too much wine, but laughed together, until their stomachs ached. If she closed her eyes, her beautiful smile would always be there. Always.
