The skin of the peach caressed his hand, soft as the hairs of a baby’s head. His wife regarded the luminous fruit with wide eyes, reaching out her hand to take it.

“Peaches? How did you get these?”

“You don’t want to know.” He smiled at her and took a bite, the flesh juicy and succulent, all the sweetness of summer in a single mouthful. His wife closed her eyes in bliss, pressed a hand to her belly, just beginning to swell.

“We’ll plant a tree.” Cicero leaned over and kissed Terentia, sticky fingers tangling in the curls of her hair.

The imagery of this is so vibrant, it's lovely.

You had me thinking it was Pullo and Eirene to begin with, but I was wrong, nice twist! And I like the foreshadowing with the planting of the tree.

Lovely drabble!

I don't think you ever responded to my discussion-started on the Rome series, but oh well. Nicely done! And Cicero's demise, though sad in a way, was nevertheless portrayed in a very novel and interesting way on HBO.

Pretty! And so sad, referring back to Cicero's death. But it's nice, good tone, and I love the words you use.
