Friday Fictioneers – In the Garden

by 45 Comments

 

She was waiting for him in the garden. He’d gone to get some wine for their moonlight stargazing tonight. He was always very romantic.

Walking among his many prize-winning roses, she was enveloped by their aroma. There were many varieties. He was proud of his green thumb.

Turning, she saw him running towards her.

“Mona!”

“My precious flower. The love of my life”.

He finally said it.

“Oh, Pierre!”

“Mona, my flower!”

“Oh, Pierre! I love you too!”

Pierre reached her. He knelt down and moved her foot aside.

“My flower!”

“You were standing on my prized-winning flower.”

Intriguing, sensitive, mysterious, loving, artistic and crackling with excitement for life is a pretty good description of who I am. I just retired from the world of art where I sold my Artfully Designed Handmade Jewelry for 28 years; although, art will always be a part of who I am no matter what venue I choose to express it in.

    Oh dear. Maybe Mona should leave Pierre in the garden overnight to rethink his priorities.

      Querida Rochelle,
      AND … now I have to chuckle. Well said … 😂
      I don’t know anyone like Pierre but realized after I wrote there must be some jerks out there.
      Mona needs to add a weed whacker to her shopping list. hehe
      Gracias mi amiga … hasta la próxima
      Isadora 😎
