Micro Bookends 1.18 – Prompt - Sweet ~ Tooth – 107 words
Sweet memories began flowing halfway through his third
scotch on the rocks. Harris settled
deeper into the wing back chair. He
glanced at Julie asleep on the couch. She
was sitting up, head back, and snoring softly.
Harris smiled as he gazed at his wife of 40 years. The night they met, she looked like
this. She had tried to be a good sport. She matched him shot for shot. Five minutes later she passed out.
Her face had more wrinkles and her ex-dancer’s body was
less petite. But by Jesus, he still
loved his sweet Julie even now when she was so long in the tooth.
