Your stories always present me with a character that stands out and Simone is no exception. The ballroom setting is vivid and you build the tension with an intensity that has me anticipating the fallout. I like how composed she is through it all, making her exit powerful. Though I'm curious about the breaking news. I guess it means there's no hiding place for Jeffery anymore.
A fine and well-written short piece. Thanks for sharing. Do take care and have a beautiful day.
