Lost in Translation
He’d certainly want acknowledgement for his overture; flowers meant to whitewash their fight.
“These’ll fix everything”, she could hear his absurdity.
As if.
Besides, he knew she kept her personal life out of the office. A bouquet full of Birds-of-Paradise screamed passive-aggressive. Could he have topped off the delivery with balloons, made his fuck-you more resounding? She was definitely dating the wrong guy.
Thankfully her assistant took care of it. Disposed of them in the break-room, out of sight…
Her business partner approached. “Were any flowers delivered? My husband said he sent me a bouquet for our anniversary.”
Oh Shit.

It’s Friday Fictioneers time. Rochelle provides us with a photo prompt. We write a 100 word story.
It’s been years since I’ve last participated on these. I forgot what a challenge and delight they are. Trying to get back to writing and posted a little more often.

Oops, that went wrong. Very funny and very different, I love it.
Self-absorbed or what? Good one, made me smile.
Ha! Ha! She is going to pretend nothing was delivered. Nice one.
Oops, loved that ending. giggles…
Oh my. Never assume anything 🙂
She got her exercise that morning— jumping to conclusions. 😉
Ooops. Nice take on the prompt.
Oh shit indeed. Could the partner be doing the partner? The intrigue mounts but that’s how my mind works.
New to Friday Fictioneers? I’m unpredictably here but welcome anyway.

I meant the partner’s husband having an affair with the other partner.
Haha, good laugh, well done.
Ahahhha! That ending was amazing on so many levels. Loved it.

Dear Dana,
Your link is up and running. I just wish I’d noticed it sooner. Great last line. Said it all. I laughed out loud. Great to have you back. 😀

Thanks Rochelle. It’s fun to be back. 🙂
Before commenting, I just want to let you know your link to your blog doesn’t work…
I looked you up by your blog name!
Now.. that said, this was great!
Talk about an Oops of majestic proportions…
Thanks Dale for the heads-up on the link. I think it’s fixed now. Also thanks for seeking me out despite the roadblock. It was fun to write another one of these. It’s been too long.
My pleasure. We’re here for each other!
It was fun to read!
