55 Flash Fiction: Invitations
I almost forgot, G! But here I am… without a prod, push, or poke! Go me!
“You’ll come, wont you?” her friend asked. “Please say you’ll come!”
Sarah hesitated, her emotions in turmoil.
Her friend paused. “Oh. Unless you don’t want to. I mean… I understand.”
“No, I want to!” Sarah assured her. “I just… he’ll be there. With her.”
“Sorry,” her friend frowned. “I don’t get him. We’re all puzzled.”
Story behind the story:
A good friend is marrying my ex’s younger brother. Need I say more? I suppose this is not as bad as the time I was invited to the wedding of the guy I had my eye on… by the guy himself! Nothing could’ve persuaded me to attend that one. This one might be possible. With moral support. Maybe.
is hosted by g-man (visit him to let him know if you’re playing and to see other participants).

If you don’t go, you’ll regret not being there for your good friend. But I can certainly understand why you wouldn’t want to.

Sounds like a fight waiting to happen. Then again,if you have friends to run interference, it could be manageable.

Oh BOY. Well, I guess that’s what the champagne is for LOL. What the heck, it’s a good chance to show your real friends the amazing amount of class and strength you’ve got : good luck getting through it anyhow!
