Writing Prompt 8.8.2016
Lunch was
almost ready. Would he actually
come? Beth sighed and checked the table
for the fifteenth time. The food smelled
delicious and the table looked beautiful. Lunch was simple- home-made chili with corn
bread and a crisp green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. Peach cobbler was the
dessert. The table cloth was red and white checked and looked inviting and
cheerful. Beth sat down to wait.
She waited a
long time. He never came. She should have invited
me. I would have come and I would have brought
some flowers for her table. I love chili and cornbread and peach cobbler is a
favorite of mine. I heard the invitation
when it was offered and I heard him accept.
I wish she would have asked me. She deserved better-much better.
