Love Balloon

I needed to pick up a birthday card so Charlie came along to keep me company and give me his opinion (which turned out to be the right one). Before heading home I took him to the only pretzel place in our city (bagels are popular in the UK but pretzels still haven’t caught on) for a hot dog pretzel.

As we waited for the next batch of cheese covered dogs he disappeared off on a mission. I noticed the girl behind the counter’s face before I saw Charlie- he had snuck up behind me with a helium-filled ‘I love you’ balloon.

Perhaps I should have felt silly walking around with a balloon but honestly, 100 pretzels wouldn’t have pleased me more.
