FF: Off His Chest

Words 100

Β β€œHello David.”

β€œMary? How…When…”

β€œWhy so startled? My first time coming home after my wedding, I had to meet you. Aren’t you going to ask me in?”

β€œEr….”

β€œEverything’s the same. That pen stand’s the one I gifted you? Aww, David. Still pining for me? Sorry, darling but it’s time you moved on.”

β€œUm…”

β€œI love this quaint chest. Remember how I used to hide here whenever the doorbell rang? Ha. Ha!” She opened the chest. β€œEeeks!”

β€œHi Mary.” Raina popped out.

β€œWhy’re you hiding here?”

β€œI thought it was his mom. How’s Shailesh?”

β€œYou know my husband?”

β€œSort of. My ex-boyfriend.”

I tried my personal favorite format – only dialogue. Wondering if it worked or was confusing – do let me know. Thanks for reading. Have a super day πŸ™‚

PS: In view of the confusion, I edited it. Hope it reads better now. Thanks for your support.

    1. I guess I should have mentioned that Mary pulled open the chest and I did have scope to do so but was just feeling a tad stubborn πŸ˜›
      I meant the pen stand is – contracted to stand’s. Perhaps that sounds odd ?

    1. After I posted this story, I was very chuffed to come across a short on youtube about a young girl sending in a letter to a talk show host. She appeared to be another Mary πŸ˜€ Thanks James for visiting and a lovely comment.
