“It’s Mica’s party tomorrow,” Rhiannon reminded Ianto over the phone. “You’ll be there won’t you? She’s really looking forward to seeing you.”

“I’ll be there. Three o’clock, right? I hope she’ll like her present.”

“If it’s from you, I’m sure she’ll love it.”

OoOoOoO

Three o’clock came and went with no uncle Ianto. Mica hid it well, but she was disappointed. Just after four, the doorbell rang. Rhi pulled it open ready to let rip, but…

“Oh my God! What happened?”

“Sorry I’m late. Broke my ankle, been in casualty getting it plastered.” Ianto looked sheepish. “I tripped over Mica’s present.”

The End

It might be an excuse, maybe he tripped over a Weevil. Then again, it could be the truth and he just had one of those unfortunate accidents that can happen in the home. ;)

Thank you!
