Wondrously Spurned
Inktober 2016 Day, The Twenty-Fourth: 'It was right here', she thought. 'At the parlor entrance. I can still feel that hand on my cheek; his compliment about my necklace." And all the sparks of swirling shooting stars in her head endlessly igniting at those two words he uttered. "Not Tonight". Before she could tell him his presumptuousness, he had spun on his heel and vanished out the door! And yet he was all around her now a day later. Aye, what bliss though! To experience so many residual things from merely that single moment.
