Your voice from below made me wish for the romance of a rose-covered trellis. Instead I let you in the back. We ignored the midnight trains, the early birds. Now I watch the morning sun trace your curves, thinking, who needs roses?
Who needs roses, indeed? Although romantic, the suitor might have broken his neck. I especially love the night/day of this: “We ignored the midnight trains, the early birds.”
Who indeed! Quite a sensual take on the prompt. Loved it.

I loved the description of the curves. Not needing the roses seems both practical and romantic at the same time.
