The Date
She had two choices, once she discovered that this guy was, as her grandmother would have said, a drip; put on the sulk of a two/thirteen year old, or, go into a hypnotic trance that allowed her to think she was out with Greg Roberts, who took her heart and her virginity when she was 17.
She chose the latter.
Clever ending.
ReplyDeletenice one!
ReplyDeleteLoved the ending. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone pretends to be with someone else if they aren't happy with their date. Sadly though they never end up with the one they're dreaming of. Hope all is well. Have a great night.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. So far I've read three of us 3WWers who have used drip to describe a man :-) My mom used it as a derisive word all the time! I don't think she ever used it to describe a woman ;-)
