Prompt ….

The flower- bouquets sat on the kitchen table.
I walked out of the kitchen and carefully closed the door.
WHY??????
Was he trying to kill me? My heart said – NO! My brain intervened – you hardly know him! Is it for my life-insurance?
I phoned him.
Hello
Glad you called. Did you like the flowers?
You mad man. Are you trying to kill me? You know I am severely allergic to many flowers.
Calm down. These are safe and allergen-free.
How demeaning! You gave me plastic flowers.
These are real, dried and sanitized flowers!
OH! Thank you! ILU.

WEll, despite what she thought, he really does care! Nicely done
Yes, he does.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure 🙂
Ha, she seems determined not to take the compliment!
She is definitely rattled. Thank you.
I had heard of pollen allergy …. this is an interesting take on that.
it all begins in the flower. Just extended the concept. Thank you.
I still say this story could go either way, in spite of how it ended.
I considered other endings too. However the prompt did not awaken the sinister in my muse.
Appreciate your response. Thank you.
Nice take on the prompt.
Thank you.
0-60 in ten seconds, then back to normal. Nice take on the prompt.
Yes initially it the mercury did rise exponentially.
Thank you.
Some people have so much trouble receiving gifts…
So true.
Thank you for the read, comment and the prompt.
I’d suggest he send chocolate next time, but who knows how she’ll react to that.
Good story in spite of the difficult MC. ☺
Chocolates are universal favorites.
Thank you.
Flower allergy? Wow, I couldnt think of that…
Superbly written

Thank you so much for the compliment.
He cares enough to know to send the very best: Dried and sanitized flowers. I wonder if your main character is named Jennifer, cause it reminds me of a good friend of mine who has issues with perfume. Well done!
Yes he does and No it is not Jennifer.
Thank you for the interest.
I’m so glad it wasn’t another stalker 🙂 Nicely done!
🙂
Thank you.
I think she’s paranoid myself. Nevertheless, the dialogue was great fun to read and very enjoyable. Nice work, Yarn!
In the current social and cultural environment – Paronia could be an essential survival mechanism.
Glad you enjoyed this. Thank you.
It is a reflection of the fractured times that we live in that even the most innocuous of gestures is viewed suspiciously. I loved this well structured story a lot, YS.
You are so right on this one. Thank you for the lovely comment.
Run, run away from that ungrateful wench. Ain’t no one got time for that nonsense.
She is a bit paranoid. Thank you.
Aaaa-chooo!
Get those antihistamines.
Thank you for the apt response.
Didn’t know such things existed!
They do.
Thank you.
I don’t blame her, these Friday Fictioneers are always trying to off someone.
🙂
Thank You.
A high strung individual that’s for sure, and an oh so patient admirers. Love will blossom me thinks.
Quite possible.
Thank you so much.
Sounds like a keeper. 🙂
Well done.
Thank you. 🙂
I like the guy who sent her the flowers.
Pretty cool headed or he knows her well.
Thank you.
Wow, she seems rather paranoid! Or maybe just cautious.
Yes, it does seem so …. or she has a mercurial temperament.
Thank you so much.
You are most welcome.
I guess people with severe allergies are allowed to be a bit paranoid, they suffer enough. Maybe when she sees him next she actually gets an ‘I’m sorry for the grump’ out. Lovely story.
You have a good understanding of human nature.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry to disappoint you … but I do not complete the formalities of awards as I feel they are there to encourage younger and much more talented people writing on this site. Thanks, once again. 🙂
It was nice to know she was wrong. Good writing, Yarnspinnerr. 🙂 — Suzanne
