Destiny

#FridayFictioneers – October 17, 2024

Photo Prompt @ Lori Wilson

It had been a wonderful trip. She had finally arrived in her favorite city. The last stop. She was looking forward to seeing a special person. They were to meet in a bar there.

She left dinner early and started to walk toward the bar where they had always met. That was so long ago.

She stepped to the door. When she saw him, her nervousness drained away and she started to smile. It had been 20 years. So much had happened. He turned and saw her while raising his martini glass to his lips. He stopped halfway.

Thanks to Rochelle for continuing to host #FridayFictioneers.

  1. Such a mysterious last line! I can’t tell if he stopped raising his glass because he’s in awe of her beauty or the opposite!

  2. You penned an excellent finish. He recognised her, but somehow has regrets one way or the other.

  3. Aw, I’m gong to pretend it’s Christmas already and jump right into the romantic ending option here. No need for nerves when the fates are smiling!
