I love that story. Though he may not have been as romantic as some others, he did show his love to you. What a surprise when he fell for you in such a surprising way.

Hahaha! This was quite a funny story. I could almost hear your heart go pitter-patter as hubby moved in close for a hug or a kiss. That is until I read the final unexpected sentence. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.

I must have been embarrassing to try to give a romantic evening to have the leg of the chair give way. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you Patricia. He tends to take things in stride. He got a kick out of it when I told him what I thought he was doing.

What a sad story but you have to give him points for trying. I hope after this he loosened up a little and was able to laugh at himself. Well-written and tells a full story in very few words.

    Thank you for the review
    Truthfully, it was not meant to be sad. He takes everything in stride. I read this to him and he laughed remembering the night. We seem to have moments like this. Like when he sat on an I've cream cone.

    Kind of a tongue in cheek sadness because it took a while to get that almost kiss. The first time we took our 2 newly adopted girls out to dinner, I sat on a taco on my chair.

-Good image for your story, Mary.
-I appreciate your notes, and how
great not only to get the tickets,
but to be next to David McCullough!
-I enjoyed your story.
-Good descriptive detail,
beginning with the first paragraph.
-You did a good job describing
the anniversary dinner, too.
-A good concluding paragraph; I
guess he was okay to see the show!
-One small thing; I would make a
new paragraph with 'On our anniversary.'
-Good luck in the contest.

So funny! Brilliant flash--witty title is spot-on. Hope to be back with congrats. If my man of 12-non-romantic years ever appears to be cozying up I'll be forewarned his chair is collapsing!

Haha, well it's funny--probably not when it happened, but later. I enjoyed your contest entry, Mary. You did good job telling of this incident. Your words read well with great imagery. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Oh no! Did that chair accident end his public show of affection? I think it's very cute that he is so traditional and modest. And you are to be credited to understand his own ways of expressing love. So glad you got to go to the theatre, too! Best wishes in the contest!

    Thank you for the review and kind comments. He takes everything in stride.Even when I gave him a slight burn yesterday on the top of his head with hot cheese.

    Oh! Hot cheese? Now you will have to write us another flash fiction but you can change all the names to protect identities! 😁

Awkward! But all's well that ends well. It sounds like he is a very romantic man down deep in his heart. I do not think David McCullough could have expressed this any better.
