THE HONEYMOON
Monica stretched luxuriously in
the bed. The sounds from the street below
had penetrated her deep sleep, early morning coming to life. She turned to kiss her new husband, Robert,
but found an empty space.
Wrapping her satin negligee
around her she peeked out of the window and smiled as the sunlight made shadows
on the cobbled street below. In the
distance she could see Robert’s blond head disappearing around the corner.
She snuggled back under the
feather down duvet admiring the shiny, new golden band on her left hand. She
hoped their whirlwind elopement would last many, many years.

I hope this isn't the last she sees of Robert. Good story.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he's picking up some coffee and pastries.
ReplyDeleteHe's getting breakfast for them. I love the tone and could imagine waking up right there after my elopement. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteConfident, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteThe words "empty space...", "disappearing around the corner..", "whirlwind elopement.." seem like clues to a way different future from what she is dreaming about.....Nicely done with that hint of mystery.
ReplyDeleteOh I have an awful feeling...
ReplyDeleteRomantic it is but hope they be together till death does them apart.
ReplyDeleteHe must have gone out to get some flowers for her, I presume.
I hope he's only gone out to get croissants :-)
ReplyDeleteI think Blogger does not like Wordpress, on most Blogger sites my comments fail to appear. Earlier I had said 'Nice, intriguing story'...
ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteLet's hope Robert's gone for to bring back breakfast or she might end up smashing a lamp across his blond head. ;)
Shalom,
Rochelle
