Word count: 100
Prompt: French

Xander finds the vampire upstairs, doing his prowling routine.

"What's this?"  Spike asks.

This is his mother's snow-globe collection.  Miniature cities, mementos of all the places she's never been.

Spike shakes one, lightly.  White flakes swirl around a tiny Eiffel Tower.

"Paris, pet," he murmurs.  "Could go there, someday."

Suddenly, Xander believes it.  They could eat snails, and drink wine, and run laughing through cobblestone streets.  They could kiss on a bridge, in the light of a foreign moon.

He can have any life that he chooses.

"Someday," he says, and Spike smiles back, as if promised a glittering prize.
