Flash Fiction Friday- The Dance

This is a flash fiction – 100 words based on a picture from Spanky’s site.

It is easy to take cautious, tender baby steps. Light and gentle as a morning kiss she slips around her secrets. Silent as the dew, she glances at her desires, sideways, shyly, secretive. She cannot speak of them, she cannot live them.

Tethered by her own fear, she ignores the key he offers.

He is patient as a rock and warmed by experience in the sun he waits for her. He could force her freedom in an instant but he will not. He knows that when she takes the sanctuary he offers her that she, unfettered, will come to him.

    Thank you so much!
    I liked this picture, it fit in with something I wanted to say anyway. Most serendipitous- couldn't be bothered with spell check,let us see if that worked.
