We drove up a long imposing drive and parked among silver Benz and extended limos. Then we walked past the main house toward a large barn and the Beaujolais Festival. I’d thought it a strange idea, to pair French wine and Texas. Since I prefered a bottle of Miller Lite rather than glass of wine; it was my daughter idea to attend the magical night at South Fork Ranch. The evening wore on, and I left on the arm of a handsome man wearing boots, a lover of wine.

Secrets to Keep

My mouth tasted like a desert, and I looked like crap. Another night of tossing and turning, but at least I did get some sleep thanks to an old standby.

Some secrets should remain a secret, and digging out my old fairy night light is one more I’d keep even from my best friends. I hadn’t used it since grade school but couldn’t stand the thought of one more night lying awake in the dark.

A soft glow from a Tinker-bell lookalike had pushed the shadows to the far corners of my room giving me a false sense of security until I drifted to sleep.

Thanks to Lillie McFerrin for her Five Sentence Fiction Prompt “Shadows” this week. My entry is an excerpt from a WIP, hope you enjoyed it.
