I loved the imagery. Would have loved more though. Otherwise, a good story.
A yes their friend will indeed change, but the only thing in how it changes for the better or worse it will be up to them
Welcome back, Anne, and welcome to another of your enjoyable short stories. All I can add is that Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Dark and Stormy Night wasn't a patch on this one. Oh yes, and I'd have locked my expensive vintage wine away and left the girls with cheap plonk!
I'm afraid I never heard of Edward Bulwer-Lytton. I was inspired to use the title by Snoopy of "Peanuts" fame. :)
...not one of your best efforts. It's like the whole thing was an exercise in working towards those last five words.
(But I'll still give you 4 stars)
Great story, I totally enjoyed it, and I've been missing your writing a lot. Thank you for sharing this, and your other stories, with us!
And this is no exception! Thank you for sharing it with us!
That was a great story! It is worthy of a continuation of the girls friendship and how it goes from there...a sequel no doubt! (an avid reader of literoctica). hmarcus2415@hotmail.com keep putting out your stories.
As an avid admirer, it is always a pleasure to read your stories. Although it was short, I could easily relate to the characters because of your excellent character-development without over doing the build-up.
For your information, and that of your followers, the phrase "a dark and stormy night" is originally attributed to Washington Irving. According to Wikipedia, it appears in his 1809 work, "The History of New York."
It didn't appear in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel (Paul Clifford) until 1830.
Incidentally, my Google search of the phrase turned up the Peanuts cartoon.
Ever think about adding chapters to this beautiful love story?
Not a great fan of vocabulary like "love canal"... but other than that, a very sweet, positive and nicely-told story.
Brilliant exposition of a long relationship and the sexual act described by a woman was truly riveting.
well written. just last night we had lightning and thunder, which i always enjoy. 5
Everlasting love ..... Hopefully, after a long get together ..... Marvelous

Ahhhhh yes . “ It was a dark and stormy night” The beginning of Snoopy’s story. I think he would be happy that you finished the tale. LOL. Lovely story line. Pleasure to read . Looking forward to reading your portfolio.
Outstanding. I imagine that it is very difficult for two people who have developed apart to come back to the simplicity of their earlier love. On the other hand what the hell do I know.
