A Short story
Michelle and Rachel have been together for five years. Rachel
has never had any reason to suspect that Michelle has cheated on her. As far as
she knows, they have the perfect relationship. But her imagination runs away
with her after she hears a radio broadcast about the signs to watch out for when
your lover may be cheating on you. Michelle has been working late recently and
receiving odd phone calls, then there is the smell of a strange
perfume.
Rachel is devastated, does Michelle love her? Is she seeing
someone else?
Michelle has planned a surprise Valentine’s weekend for them
both. Will this weekend allay Rachel’s fears? Or will her heart be broken by a
landslide of overwrought emotions?
I thoroughly enjoyed this well written poignant short story
that is chock full of emotions that radiated off the pages. Both Rachel and
Michelle are great characters and easy to get to know. I’d like to meet them
again sometime.
The scenic descriptions enabled me to be a part of the story
instead of simply reading from the page. Just for good measure, the story is
sizzling hot. For a short story, there is a lot packed into it.
I believe this is Diane Marina’s debut story and she’s off to
an excellent start. I’ll be looking out for more from this author and I hope I
don’t have to wait too long for her next story or book.
