All That Matters

For a time that never seemed to reach an end, we just sat there basking in the serenity the moment provided us. I was feeling a strange sort of buzz that had my head feeling light. 

It almost felt as if I was levitating, and maybe it was just the leftover alcohol still making its departure through my system, only this felt better, nicer, like nothing I've ever felt before… and every time I rolled her little swirly gift to me between my fingers, that feeling just surges even stronger. 

I kept fiddling with the necklace, admiring it from all possible angles… from one side it kind of resembled a tiny lava lamp, from another it looked more like a vial that contained the only cure to a deadly pandemic, and I'm sure I could have come up with a bunch more comparisons had I not suddenly been distracted by the fakest, and faintest of coughs.
