FF: Ostrich in the Sand

Words 100

Quick, this was his chance!

Ron began to tiptoe

He froze.

The familiar shuffle of footsteps.

No time to lose, he dived behind the sofa.

β€œYes darling,” Her voice floated across. β€œthe coast is clear. Let’s party!”

A titter.

β€œYes darling. Just you and me. Oh Ron? He ran off to play football. Time he learned to take responsibility for his actions. Do you want to go out for dinner?” She lowered her voice. β€œOr should we order in and…?”

β€œMom!” Ron sprang up, β€œYou have a boyfriend?!”

Mom’s eyes gleamed with mischief as she stood there hands on hips.

Thank you for reading and leaving me a note. And in case anyone is interested, a new story: Some Sugar & Spice is now live! Hope to see you there as well.

Have a wonderful week.
