Elle, warmest congratulations to you! And what a tense, moody, and rather sad story. I absolutely love the imagined affair that lasts for the length of one cigarette—that was terrific. Thanks for being my second short story of the year—you may look for yourself on the short-story thread now. :D

Hey Elle, I liked the story very much! The atmosphere of a tense summer night was so very well done, and the characters too. Jessica Sherman has such a pleasant, soothing voice. There was a distant barking in the background, and I wondered if it was intentional, because it fit the setting so well.

Thanks everybody for your kind words.

@Lakey — I'm honoured to have had a mention in the short story challenge thread.

@Tocotin — her voice is great and it fits the piece so well. I didn't even notice the barking! I will have to listen to it again.
