Drabble # 1
I knew what was on his mind when he invited me the opera. He kept his hands to himself; he treated me like a lady. But his eyes told a very different story.
I was the one who suggested we walk home after dinner, I allowed him slip his arms around my waist.
Seamstress cannot afford to be too choosy. He is rich. He doesn’t mind indulging me. I will eventually give him what he wants. Perhaps even tonight.
But I would like to postpone the inevitable.
“My feet are killing me. Can’t we sit down here for a moment?”

Very interesting. Hope you continue this Drabble. Like to see where it goes (or doesn't go).

That's an interesting idea.
Neat idea - I've never heard of Drabbles until now. I love your scene :)
What a great idea. I set up my blog to do a Saturday Centus but haven't started it yet. Excellent!
I've never heard of a drabble either, but it's a great exercise! I loved your piece (and that's one of my favorite Van Goghs too!) You should do a Drabble Blogfest!
@ Fiona - thank you!
@ Yvonne - ever since I first heard about drabbles, I was hooked.
@ SueAnn - thank you. And they are great fun to write.
@ Mason - I do intend continuing it. Uncle Vincent must be fuming to see what I did of his painting
@ Alex - a whole bunch of us drabble all the time.
@ Jemi - drabbles are great fun. Watch this space for more
