Chocolate Mousse

I have used light pastel colours and streaks of sap green.

Dinner was cleared. The kitchen was wound up. The doors were locked for the night. There were just the two of them. Not much to neaten up around the house before calling it a day. She gave the hall one last look before she got up to switch off the lights.
Trinng…triiiing….tri…trrrrring
Hey! Who was this ringing the doorbell at 11 in the night? And with such fervour!
She walked briskly to the door. Perhaps it was her neighbour?
What could have happened!!??
She opened the door to a fabulous bouquet of orange, red and yellow lilies, little white flowers and a smattering of purple. A bunch with all the colours of a happy pack of crayons!
'Happy Birthday Amma!' Her dear children had come to make her cut a cake at 12 in the night! It was not a cake actually….it was a large bowl of her favourite chocolate mousse with a soulful layer of dark chocolate chips and yummy cream scoops. A midnight birthday celebration with bubbles of cheer
We listened to music
Sang songs
Dug into chocolate mousse
Discussed books
Answered phone calls
Opened gifts
Had a rollicking time

A magic moment!
