Counting
A couple of minutes walk away from the party
Champagne bottle in hand
Lying in the meadow
"How many do you think there are?" she asked
"Probably around 3000," I replied
"Now you are just being silly!"
"I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it was around 3000. Go on then. Count them."
She gave up after 97
We held hands
I conceded there might be more although 3000 was quite a big number
They all shone for us
