He smiled as the breeze swept the hair from her face.
The sun was shining, lighting her eyes, making them twinkle, blue as the summer sky.
He leant over, his fingers wriggling in a gesture to tickle her side, making her laugh aloud.
The sound had never failed to make him smile. The years had simply added to it, rich and mellow and filled with joy. It made his heart skip a beat every time he heard it.
"I'll race you," he said, thumb ready on the accelerator of his mobility scooter.
She didn't wait, pressing hers, she shot off in front.
"You'll have to catch me!" she called.
He pressed his thumb and gave chase, a smile emblazoned across his face as he chased his girl up the high street, heading for home.

You're very talented, to come up with such a lovely piece of writing based on the three "prompt" words you were given. It made me smile because, although we're not on scooters yet, my hubby and I occasionally engage in a footrace. At our ages, it's not pretty...but it's fun.
you captured such a sweet moment so well that i couldn't help but smile along with him.
I too enjoyed your short story :) Thank you
