"White Lace and Promises"

Today's entry is brought t you courtesy of Velvet Verbosity's 100 Word Challenge.

This week's word is: Bustier. Now then. This is not 'bustier' as in "Jenny is bustier than Golda". No. This is 'bustier' as in "Black Satin Bustier". As in, the French undergarment.

And now, my contribution.

"White Lace and Promises"

It was the dress of my dreams, a vision of white satin and lace with row upon row of tiny pearlescent beads, their myriad designs stitched with flawless creativity.

I admired myself in the mirror of the exclusive little shop, and shook my head sadly. I was forced to face the fact that I was no longer a young woman. The telltale signs of middle age had come and gone, and left in place of the body I had called home for so long was a matriarch.

Sensing my hesitation the designer placed the solution in my hands.

"Bustier, madame?"

Thanks to Popping Bubbles , I found a new challenge! I love writing drabbles. Containing my writing to exactly 100 words is a challenge and I've been writing them for years. I was delighted to find this link today. The word for today's challenge was "unspoken".

Eternity

Four months, three days, six hours and several hundred odd minutes. An eternity that had been filled with hurt and longing, aching to take back words that should never have been uttered in the first place. He had ached for every single second of every day. Fool! What had he done?

He had gone off to find himself, to discover exactly who he was, but all he had needed to do was ask her and she would have gladly told him. He was hers, her one and only love. All of the things he had said should have remained unspoken.
