It carried the scent of Arthur's sweater, that sweet and earthy scent that always made Mary feel safe and at home when he wrapped her in his arms.

"It'll smell like something you looooove." Amelia had told her in a sing-song voice as she giggled while Mary opened the package on Christmas morning. The thought clouded her head. Love? Mary hadn't had time in her life for love, she was only in her 2nd term of school after all...

And yet she couldn't deny that somehow, whether on its' own or by some means of her own deepy hidden desires, this candle was working a tender, comforting sort of magic on her.

Mesmerized by the flame as it flickered a soft and hypnotic dance, Mary inhaled the pink fragrant smoke as it wafted up, curling in attractive plumes overhead.

Maybe, just maybe, love was something worth thinking about after all...

This is my first prompt from davescharacterart's list on Instagram and I'm really excited because he has a lot of fantastic prompts that I'm going to be doing over the rest of the month. They really inspired me! I've been finding that my art has felt a little rushed these past few days, which has sacrificed some stylistic features, so I'm going to try and refocus on challenging myself and working on finding "my" style as I go along. (I see now that her arm is a bit wonky...but, well, anyways that's what it is. Haha!)
