THE
DATE
The
weather matched her mood. She was stuck
here in this dingy motel room looking out into the wet night waiting for his
car to appear.
He
was late, again. Melissa turned back and
surveyed the double bed, the bedside lamp on the MDF two-drawer cabinet, one worn
brocaded chair, a tiny kettle and a few sachets of tea and coffee on the stand
by the door.
The
rat-a-tat-tat knock came. Melissa opened
the door where Richard stood, a smile on his face as he handed her a bedraggled
bouquet of flowers, obviously the last bunch in the service station.
Word count: 100
How sweet that Richard showed up with a bunch of flowers! (Even if they were bedraggled). I have a feeling she is just glad that he showed up! Great story Sally!
ReplyDeleteService station flowers, don't you just love them? So romantic. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteRichard has some 'slainin' to do. Cute.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Wow, I hope she realizes she deserves better and slams the door in his face.
ReplyDeleteHow much can you really expect when your get-togethers happen in a dingy motel room? Obviously all he can afford are the service station flowers...
ReplyDeleteSounds like an affair with a married man. Time to move on, and away, far, far away from this man! LOL
ReplyDeleteReally well done!
I think she deserves more.

A very sweet story, that feels bittersweet in the lackluster setting. The first line is just perfect.
