Banana pudding before you die
A Drabble about a dangerous love game
It was Sunday morning. Sandra woke up, went to the kitchen, and prepared breakfast.
She was thinking of Jason, her new lover. Sandra didn’t feel guilty. After all, she and Ryan were in an open marriage.
She didn’t know this, but for Ryan, the open marriage idea was his solution to stay close to the children. He was tired of Sandra and wanted to get rid of her. But, he loved his children too much to leave.
They sat at the breakfast table. She slowly sips her tea. Her eyes fixed on Ryan whilst he savours his favourite banana pudding.

The purple dress
The next morning, Sandra was at work as usual. She was wearing a purple dress and matching Oxford shoes. It was impossible to miss her flirting as Jason came in. Jason was too young and too impressed by an older woman who clearly knew how to manipulate him into doing the dirty work for her.

WOW! What a twist! Excellent writing!
Poor Sandra, but it's a clever idea!
What an intriguing take on complicated relationships and the quiet tension that can exist beneath the surface.
Dang! Evil love!
OOo. Who wins now?
Oh this is a part 2. Oh no, don't tell me she's poisoned his banana pudding!
