(100-word flash fiction)
The train had entered a tunnel and quite inexplicably the lights had gone out. When they had emerged into the daylight, there he had been, sitting opposite her. Quite inexplicably her heart had fluttered. At the magic of it. His sudden appearance or the meeting of their eyes, she wasn’t sure.
He had smiled, as though looking knowingly into her heart.
Twenty years of togetherness had ensued.
Now, after the funeral, looking up at his smiling photo, it seems as though he is still looking deep into her heart, past the grief, and saying, “the magic will always be there.”

Sentimental but lovely. Nothing wrong with a wee bit of sentimentality now and then. Well done.
Beautiful!
True love never dies. Delightful.

A wonderful tribute story to love and enduring attraction. 🙂 ❤
And what’s wrong with sentiment – you avoided ‘mushy’ 🙂
I love this. Magic and enduring love. Can’t get much better than that.
Love the feel of this piece and it’s message.
A look is worth many words – as the saying goes. Great romantic take on the story!
A little magic, and a fine story.
This is lovely–one of those magical moments you always look back on.
So sad but so wonderfully sentimental, too.
Nice job!
Magical and sentimental too. Loved this.
I’m glad she still felt his love, even after he had died.
We sort of wrote on similar themes this week. This as wonderfully written
