Pleasant Surprise

Imagine standing in front of the lift doors waiting for it to open, random thoughts running and skipping through the mind. I was already upstairs planning out my afternoon and what I was going to do, what colours I would like to use later, when…”ping”, the lift doors slid open to reveal, this:-

A gurgling baby, in his mother’s arm. His mouth in a wide smile as if he knew that I was at the door and he was greeting me! Automatically, it’s almost a reflex, I smiled at him broadly. I was holding my keys in my palm and they made a merry jingling as I waved at the gurgling baby. Almost as if on cue, he chuckled and reached for the jingling keys.
Boy, unexpected gifts are the best! 🙂
