"Special Scrabble"
A Micro Fiction Love Story
The scrabble tiles rattled in the bag as she drew. She gave him a suspicious look.
“You’ve already picked ALL of your tiles? Why so many?”
“We’re playing "Special Scrabble".”

“Will you marry me” was spelled out. He was down on one knee with a ring in hand.
She smiled, blushed, and looked down at her tiles to spell a response.
