This is so sweet and romantic, and the treasure hunt part is a lot of fun for Carrie, though it's not until the end that we're absolutely sure, and it leaves the reader with a warm and lovely feeling. Especially since she goes to put the note "with the others" which suggests this little snapshot of love is only one part of a longer story between two people, where ordinary can be, and is, extraordinary. Beautiful.

This was both a brilliant use of the prompt words, as well as a very well crafted story of a tender and loving marriage. It was touching without being at all maudlin, and I'm simply in awe of your talent in painting such vivid vignettes. Thank you!

Heh. Relating these words is a treasure hunt isn't it? Are you going to do a rebuttal? :)

That was a very cute ficlet way of tying all those words together in a completely believable manner! Well done!
