3WW - writer prompt - apology.consider.distant

3WW - Separate entries

Hub:
Dearest, I know that I have been distant lately. Please consider this note as my sincere apology. Love, T

Me:
Despite a dozen roses and an apology on her bureau, she felt distant. It wasn’t her tears running down her face. It wasn’t him that she had been fighting with. Her thoughts would race on and on into the night. She would sit alone, paralyzed, shivering by her bed and she would consider picking up the phone to call him. But always, her mind would think better of it. It was time to move on.

WriterKat,
Neat use of dialog.
I wonder if she is happy with her choice?

This, for me, is powerful, given certain things going on (and having gone on) recently in friends' lives.

You guys don't waste any words, do you?

LOL Why do I have the feeling your hub has written something like that before? :)

As for yours, makes me wonder "what" went on that she needs to let go of. Very much a teaser.

Well done.

So typically male - the sparse, yet clearly to the point male...and the all-feeling female, daunting in her surmise and emotions. Nice job both of you!

WriterKat said...

Thanks everyone. Yes, DH is a real pro - although instead of apologies, we tend to just duke it out. :-)
