tenminutesadayI'm working on a new (very short) story and here's a bit from it. Hopefully I'll have the motivation to finish it soon.
Trailing behind Amy as they strode down the corridor, Rory stared at the dirt and dust ingrained in her skirt and the heels dangling from her hand, rust brown against the shining white fabric. “That’s never coming out, you know. Not in a hundred cleanings.”
Amy shrugged. “A wedding dress is only meant to be worn once.”
“At least it’s yours.” He leapt forward to catch up with her, pointing at the similar streaks down his black trousers and grey tails. “My deposit’s gone on this. He could have waited for us to change first.” He looked up into her sceptical stare. “No, he couldn’t.”
“At least I was dressed this time. First trip, I was in my nightie.”
Rory slapped his hands to his face and moaned. “Tell me no one saw.”
“Everyone saw.”
He caught her hand and pulled her into his arms. “Well, from now on, only I can see, Mrs Williams.”
