FF: Off His Chest

Words 100

 “Hello David.”

“Mary? How…When…”

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

“Er….”

“Everything’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.”

“Um…”

“I love this quaint chest. Remember how I used to hide here whenever the doorbell rang? Ha. Ha!” She opened the chest. “Eeeks!”

“Hi Mary.” Raina popped out.

“Why’re you hiding here?”

“I thought it was his mom. How’s Shailesh?”

“You know my husband?”

“Sort 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 🙂

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 😛
      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 😀 Thanks James for visiting and a lovely comment.
