TEA FOR TWO
By Darlene Foster
Claire met Frank at a retirement party. Men of a certain age were often single for a reason.
Frank wondered why Claire was single. Maybe she hated men.
“There’s a nice cafe around the corner; would you like to join me for a cup of tea?” he asked.
“That’s the best offer I’ve had in a long time.” Claire agreed with a pretty smile.
Over cups of steaming tea, they talked late into the night, replenishing their mugs as they steeped themselves in each other’s history.
The next morning, Frank woke Claire with a welcoming pot of that seductive libation.

Don’t sell the benefits of a good cup of tea short, eh?

Thanks, Rebecca. 100 words isn’t a lot, especially for a wordy person like me.

Brilliant! There is much going on in those 100 words!

100-word blog posts are appealing, especially if they tell a steamy story. Brava, Darlene!

Wow, talking into late at night over a cup (with refill) of tea! A beautiful romance that warms my heart! Well done, Darlene. I did some 100 words or 99 words of flash fiction. I should get back to doing it. That’s fun.

I know it’s fun, Darlene. I usually just write and then trimmed it down to 100 or 99 words.

“Over cups of steaming tea, they talked late into the night, replenishing their mugs as they steeped themselves in each other’s history.” That is such a moving line
