potc100 Challenge: Luxury
Title: Cupboard Love
Author: Soubie
Rating: G. Very G!
Word count: 100
Characters/pairings: Small William (aka Will 3) Reference to Elizabeth, and... somebody else.
Notes: For the 'Luxury' prompt. Also, for further explanation, see: Frost Fair
Some years, ice covered the salty, tidal Thames thick enough for the Frost Fair- a brief city of stalls, booths, tents and revellers.
Young Will remembers stalls of sweetmeats and toys, far better than he remembers anyone who was there. If he thinks hard, he can remember leading a man who wanted to know to his favourite toy, which was obligingly given to him.
Now that he’s older, he shudders with embarrassment-, he knows he should have been a little more interested in the man who had hugged him and his mum, and then slipped away, out towards the sea.
